On one of my many trips on a bus this week I overheard a young girl, maybe around 20 years of age describing to an aquaintance that she had been to a Puma outlet sale, where everything was 50% off. She went on to tell the other girl how she bought 3 pairs of shoes, and 3 track suits, as well as pants and a top from the Adidas outlet store. In total she said she spent $400.00. Okay... thats fine. But then she goes on to tell this other girl that she couldnt afford to spend money on presents for any family or friends because she "only makes 8 dollars an hour" with that the girl she was talking to replied, "life is too short, you need to treat yourself first." I felt my mouth drop. I do believe we need to treat ourselves sometimes. keyword: sometimes. But at this time of year, on this holiday? Isnt the point of christmas, that we drive into children, to give to others? As well as the story behind christmas, the fact that it isnt even ab0ut presents at all. It is about the day Jesus was born. I truly wish that the girl was just an exception, and that the whole world isnt as cold and greedy as she is. But as a request, I ask that those of you who read this pray for those who do not realize what christmas is about, and also for those less fortunate. Everyone deserves a Merry Christmas.
God Bless.
&Merry Christmas♥
From my Family to yours,
Lots of Love
