Good story @englishtchrivy
I love your mum. ways of expressing and extend the love to others, that demonstrates she knows who really Christ Jesus is.

"The act of given willingly is an act of Love " God is love" For God so love the world, he " Gave" his only begotten son that whosoever believeth will not perish but have eternal life; Our Lord Jesus Christ "Gave" his life for the sins he didn't committed (NB: Jesus Christ who never sin not just for once "The Holy" The True and the Life) but "gave" his life for us to have eternal life. Love fulfil the Law "Without Kindness and generosity to others the chance to make it to heaven is low.

Jesus laid emphasis on this: for I am naked, thou cloth me not, when i am sick, that visited me not , when I was hungry, thou feed me not they will ask him when did we see you and not does all this to you "√ Jesus Christ: in as much you don't do to your fellows men's you have not done for me.

The importance of Xmas is not to eat gluttony but to first reflect on our doings, Christian life and our faith and to share love with others.

Given lead to Blessing and is one of the attributes of Master life (JESUS CHRIST) healed the sick, given life to hopeless, feed many, doing all sorts of miracles no one ever does and Jesus giving Life.

Love and Given is among the criteria or obligation of Christian life.

They day i will stop Kindness to Fellow men's around me will be the day I give up the ghost.

Thanks for sharing this.

We don't have to bankrupt or go broke because we are observing or celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ that brought us life.

Note: We must do everything accordingly and moderate.

Merry Christmas to you all and Happy Birthday to Myself
