Christmas is a time to be with family and friends. It is good to focus on those things you love about all those people who are close to you. Of course, that is important. It is also important to think about those who are in need and will not enjoy a happy Christmas. It can be as simple as inviting a friend to spend Christmas with you when you know that friend is having a very difficult time. You could also contribute to a charity that provides special Christmas meals for needy people.

Christian Bible Lesson 115: Control Stress
The medical community has provided significant information regarding preparing for stress. Their suggestions include at least seven hours of sleep at night, exercising regularly, meditation, and staying socially connected. However, living with stress while you are experiencing it is much more challenging.
Christian Bible Lesson 111: Avoid Greed
The amazing point I learned when reading the Bible and then studying people who follow Christian lessons is that when the lessons are implemented by an individual or a group, not only do the affected people benefit but the person or group who followed the lessons improved their lives.
Christian Bible Lesson 110: Helping Others
There is so much more to life than just accumulating wealth and physical possessions. What good is it to have a large bank account, expensive possessions, and unlimited travel if you have no sense of sacred friendships, strong family connections, and a feeling of helping others achieve happiness?
Christian Bible Lesson 109: Deny Ourselves
It is especially important in times of stress that we do not give in to the quickest most painless response to a situation. Many times, people tend to only think about how an action affects them at the time. In their haste, they do not consider how their actions will affect them over time or how their decisions affect other people.
Christian Bible Lesson 108: Don’t Bully
You will not benefit over time if you mistreat other people. Even if the same people mistreated you. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand that treating people who harmed you with respect is much more challenging than standing up to them and trying to match their abuse.
Christian Bible Lesson 105: Do Not Brag
It is important that you not only do good deeds but also, that you act for the right reasons. Contributing to people in need to make yourself look good is not righteous. Making sure you benefit from helping other people by bragging in front of your friends is not the way to help people.
Christian Bible Lesson 103: Helping Others
Helping other people is not limited to contributing to charities, voting for assistance programs, or donating your time to support a specific group that assists people in need. You can also help family members, friends, and co-workers.
Christian Bible Lesson 102: Biblical Leadership
Leadership is not limited to companies, politics, or religious organizations. Leadership affects families, friends, and general groups. Regardless of how strong a leader is or how educated, or experienced, it is critical for the leader to serve people as well as guide them.
Christian Bible Lesson 101: Forgive others and you will be forgiven
It is important to forgive those who wronged you. We all make mistakes and do things that affect other people. Sometimes people are not aware of the pain they cause others until it is too late to change their behavior. Other times they deliberately hurt people.
