In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ — Acts 20:35 BSB

We will have a happier Christmas ourselves if we make an effort to bring joy to others. It’s wonderful to give presents to our friends, but to receive the greatest blessing from giving, we should also remember those in real need. Whether it’s feeding someone who is hungry or sending warm clothing to someone cold, these are the kinds of gifts that make giving more blessed than receiving.
