As we prepare for the upcoming Christmas season, it is important we remember those around us who may be struggling, alone or isolated.
Remember the real reason for the Christmas season. The birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Christ calls upon us to love on another and care for the least of his people.
How can you project the love of Jesus Christ through action?
1. Visit those who are in nursing homes, assisted living communities or who do not have relatives nearby.
2. Attend church and pray for those who are struggling this year, remembering the holidays are difficult for many among us, but especially those who have lost a loved one in the past year or those whose loved ones are in the military or are overseas.
3. Share a smile, open a door, lend a hand and offer a "Merry Christmas" to those you pass during this season.
4. Donate to local charities, local food pantries and other efforts to assist people and families that are less fortunate.
5. Give the gift of time, the gift of listening and the gift of love above all else to your family and friends, regardless of any past hurts or difficulties.
Time, attention, listening, hugs, reconciliation and kindness are the greatest gifts of all.
May you have a Merry Christmas filled with love, joy, togetherness and faith.
May God bless you, your family and your community.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
Respectfully,
Barbara Bittner Republican Party of Calumet County Chair
