Day 3: Hear the Call of Christmas

 Zach Williams - "The Call of Christmas"

If you have family and friends to spend Christmas with this year, take time to think of those who don’t. Offer to spend time with someone you see sitting alone at church. Bring a meal over to a person you know who lost a spouse. Buy an extra gift to donate to a local shelter for a family who may not be able to get gifts for their child this year. If you don’t know anyone directly, your pastor can help you. There are countless ways that you can help those in your community, and all it takes is a willing heart - not any special talents or a ton of money. 

If you are reading this and you’re feeling like this upcoming Christmas is going to be lonely, and you’re feeling forgotten or forsaken, read the lyrics of “The Call of Christmas”. Find a moment of peace knowing that you’re not alone. You are loved. You are important. 

"The Call Of Christmas"

Wonder of all wonders
Outside of Bethlehem
Angels come to shepherds
Ordinary working men
Not the high and mighty
The powerful and great
But those who feel unwanted
That the world has pushed away

All who feel rejected
Unwanted and alone
We're all undeserving of
The kindness we've been shown
Come behold the King of Kings
Find rest you weary souls
Lay down all your burdens
He will mend and make you whole

For all of those in need
Come find your hope and peace
Oh, do not be afraid
For He has come to save
He has come to save

Hear the call of Christmas
All you lost and left behind
The lowly and those longing
With an emptiness inside
The forgotten and forsaken
I bring you good news
Hear the call of Christmas
The Savior waits for you
Oh, hear the call of Christmas
The Savior waits for you
