Simple Way to Share Jesus at Christmas!

We all know the phrase: Jesus is the REASON for the SEASON. But if that is true, then why am I not sharing Jesus more with folks during the Christmas Season? Why are I NOT sharing the "Greatest Gift" ever given (Jesus) with others I meet?  This is a question I often ponder as a Christ-follower.

Well, God revealed a simple way to do this a few days ago and I thought I would share it with others in hope you can try it too!  I take no credit for this --- it was completely a "God Idea" He put in my head!

I had to run to the store the other day to pick up a few items.  The store wasn't very busy and no one was behind me in line so I had a chance to visit with the lady who was running the register.  My question to her was simple:  Are you ready for Christmas yet?  A question many of us probably ask others frequently during this season of the year.  But there was a twist....

After the lady told me about buying her presents and getting them to the post office to mail to her kids and grandkids, I asked her this:  Are you ready for the REAL GIFT of Christmas - Jesus?  I wasn't sure what her response would be...but I was ready to tell her about Jesus if God opened the opportunity.   Well, she told me that she was a Christian and that Jesus was what she and her family celebrate each year.  She even told me about her kids and grandkids and their church activities.  It was a fun 2 minute conversation.

It's as simple as that.....just ask the question....and then the follow-up question (or something similar).  See what God does with your desire to tell others.....He will be pleased.  And let me know what happened as you gave this a try! 

Look forward to hearing from others!!
