In recent days, we have seen the beginning of the seasonal outpouring of gifts, food, and resources in the spirit of the Holidays. More than the many toys and gifts for children and households are the attitudes of the many volunteers and their spirit of helpfulness: the multiple toy giveaways, the Santas and his helpers, the boxes of food and produce, and the total effort including the turkeys and items to make a Christmas dinner. And it’s not over yet. This week and, even on Christmas Eve at the former Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation parking lot, there will be hundreds of volunteers and thousands of community members coming together for a tidal wave of giving.
The late Alex Haley used to say to people, “Find the good and praise it.” This is what we are doing here. We are praising the good in our neighbors and the humanity displayed in their concern for those who have less, regardless of the reasons. This is what Christ was all about, and this is what so many of us are making Christmas this year. Peace and Blessings to those who serve and those who make it possible to help in so many ways.
