Bless a Child

With Christmas approaching fast, Utahns are beginning to think of all the gift-buying, Christmas carols, and the general concept of giving. What most people fail to see is the numbers of children and families that will go this Christmas without seeing a single gift and will even struggle to have a meal, nevertheless a special Christmas meal. Donate to the local food bank, or even stop by a grocery store that's offering families or children up for Christmas present adoptions.
The non-denominational church that I attend has a small Christmas tree covered in sheets of paper, each detailing a child's name, and their Christmas needs and wants. Katie and I picked a little 4 year old girl named Evelyn. She wants something as simple as a doll and clothes. How easy it would be to take care of her. All it takes is thinking of what we can buy for her while we're out shopping for siblings, parents, and other various relatives.
Quite simply, it's not terribly difficult for us to bless someone in this Christmas season. That's what the season should be all about, right? Christ came to bless humanity as a whole, so why can't we pass on that blessing with at least a tiny fraction of our income?
