Charity is the third virtue. In St Paul’s wonderful description substitute the word Love.…"charity is patient and kind, charity is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Charity does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in the right. Charity bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." What a perfect Christmas gift to the world.

Challenge: Give the gift of yourself this Christmas. See and love the lonely, the heartbroken, the old. The true gift of Christmas is the birth of Jesus.
