As we’re gearing into the Christmas season, we are all bombarded with messages of love, peace, goodwill toward men. My post today isn’t going to follow the typical path of my previous posts. But it is something that I think is important.

During the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, it’s so easy to talk about the good manners, love, goodwill, that is so abundantly tossed around. But the doing isn’t so easy, sometimes. Or at least we think it’s not. I encourage you this season, to remember others in your actions. In something as polite as holding the door open for someone, to smiling at a stranger.

We seem to have forgotten how to treat our fellow man. To put their thoughts and feelings foremost in our minds. Life’s not just about self… In fact, TRUE life is about selflessness. So if you can, make a point daily, to put someone ahead of yourself. Call if you aren’t going to be where you said, and someone is waiting on you. Spend a few extra minutes with someone who may need a shoulder to lean on. They say it takes 30 days to make a habit.

This is one habit I think we should all have.

And just because I can’t leave you without a picture… here’s one from my tree. I guess Jesus thought selflessness was a good habit to have, too.
