Remembering the Least of These this Advent Season
by Faithful Progressive
Bread for the World has a number of Advent Resources available to Christians who want to hold the poor close to them during the season of Advent.
As they write here:
Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given," Isaiah declares. As we prepare to receive the Christ child anew in this season of Advent, our faith compels us to hear the cry of all children, especially poor children. We must remember that every day millions of children are born suffering from hunger and poverty. Many of them will die of preventable disease.
If we are to receive the Christ child fully into our hearts, we must allow the Holy Spirit to work within us and shape our lives. We are called to take on God's passionate concern for the world's poor and oppressed people. This Advent and Christmas, let us remember with Isaiah that the Child who brings light to those "who walk in darkness" tells us that if we "offer food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted," our own "light shall rise in the darkness" and our "gloom shall be like the noonday." (Isaiah 58)
Amen, and have a blessed Advent season.

I have found a wonderful web site and need to share with everyone, www.onlineblessings.com. My fellow faithful have brought this too my attention and have praised it.

A birthday Gift to Jesus Christ
What can I give to Jesus
Poor as I am
If I was a shepherd
I would give Jesus a lamb
If I was a wise man
I would do my part
Oh what can give him on Christmas day
To make him real happy I give him my Heart
