Acts 4:32 (ESV) "Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common."
God has given me this scripture this evening as I am pondering the amount of benevolence, or lack thereof, that should be highly visible during this holiday season. Our communities have so much need. We have families that struggle to pay for heat and children who may not get a special Christmas gift. We have folks that are paying off medical bills and pinching pennies to put gas in their cars so they can go to work. Some of us, however, have plenty. Based on the reading today, those of us who have plenty should be sharing it. After all, it is only by the grace of God that we are not the ones that are desperately trying to make ends meet. The next few weeks would be a great time to reach out and help someone. Look around. You might be surprised how easy it is to be the light in someone else's life.
