You are probably familiar with the Advent calendar in which each of the days of December are marked by receiving a small gift, like a piece of candy. I want to flip that this year. Instead of receiving something for the twenty-five days leading up to Christmas, I want to encourage you to give something. It doesn't have to be of monetary value, I think the most meaningful gift you could give over the next twenty-five days would be some small act of kindness. A patient listen to someone who's having a bad day, looking someone in the eyes and saying thank you, acknowledging the work of so many people who make our community a welcoming place to visit and live. #jesusknows #bepatientwithyourself #trustgodsplan #waitinhope #godlovesyou #payitforward (at Blue River, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqoZcEtlrWu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1271ka061xhzu
