You don't have to bake. 00:14:45.65\00:14:46.98 Go to a bakery, go to your grocery store... 00:14:47.02\00:14:48.88 That's right. 00:14:48.92\00:14:50.25 And then you can give those, if you say, 00:14:50.29\00:14:51.75 "I don't have the means to do that." 00:14:51.79\00:14:53.79 So I think that the most important thing 00:14:53.82\00:14:56.62 is that we give gifts of love and from the heart. 00:14:56.66\00:14:59.49 That's right. 00:14:59.53\00:15:00.86 And if you don't have the means, 00:15:00.90\00:15:02.23 invite someone into your home 00:15:02.26\00:15:03.60 and just you can read the Bible together, 00:15:03.63\00:15:05.73 you can sing Christmas songs together. 00:15:05.77\00:15:07.94 That's right. 00:15:07.97\00:15:09.30 You can holiday songs 00:15:09.34\00:15:10.67 and you can share the season in sharing Jesus. 00:15:10.71\00:15:13.91 And let them know, that you care. 00:15:13.94\00:15:16.85 And one thing that we always try to remember is that 00:15:16.88\00:15:20.22 Jesus is the reason for the season. 00:15:20.25\00:15:24.55 Every season of our life, all day along... 00:15:24.59\00:15:27.66 Everyday. Everyday. 00:15:27.69\00:15:29.06 That's true. 00:15:29.09\00:15:30.43 It's Jesus, is the reason for living and... 00:15:30.46\00:15:32.79 That's right and we'd like to encourage you to make Jesus 00:15:32.83\00:15:35.20 your best friend. 00:15:35.23\00:15:36.56 Amen. 00:15:36.60\00:15:37.93 And renew your commitment to Him, today. 00:15:37.97\00:15:39.77 Well, unfortunately our time is all gone 00:15:39.80\00:15:42.54 and we just wanna say, 00:15:42.57\00:15:44.67 may all your holidays be seasoned with God's love. 00:15:44.71\00:15:49.98 Bye bye, everybody.
