how do you fit all your thoughts in a blog post?

It has been awhile since I've posted. I have a lot on my mind and in my heart. I have a very close friend in a hospital flirting with death, I have another friend who just got remarried, I still have a wonderful job, a beautiful wife, beautiful children, and we are all healthy. I have a neighbor who has been out of work and in a wheelchair due to a work accident. Life has been very fair to me, and I've been blessed greatly. I see close friends and others around me that may cause me to think, "life isn't fair." Why them and not me? I don't think this is a very valuable question. One of more value would be "What am I doing to bless their lives and ease their burdens?" Especially this time of year when we celebrate the birth and life of Christ, I think this question and answer is very meaningful:

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt alove the Lord thy God with all thy bheart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy cmind.
38 This is the first and great acommandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt alove thy neighbour as thyself.


So, during this Christmas season what gift are you giving to Christ?
