Thought of the Day: Christmas Compassion

Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.

Christmas is two months away and soldiers naturally feel their separation from a home a bit more during this season. Do you have traditions or gifts that you would like to uphold out here if possible?

Sometimes, the most enriching experience for us during a holiday season away is to consider the struggles of others and try to enrich their experience. Do you know what might help another soldier pass the days away with more joy?

Are there other Coalition soldiers and Afghan friends who lack your material wealth who could take great joy in something small (expendable clothing, etc.)?

Most important, this season provides yet another opportunity to realize that life is only truly enriched by life in Christ. 'Tis the season for growing in His grace.
