"With this news," the prophet writes, "strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those who have weak knees (Isaiah 35:3)."
APPLICATION: strengthen and encourage are two words we can give this Christmas not just to those on the list who are hard to buy for, but as a memory paid forward to those who have strengthened and encouraged us.
And easy gift wrapping. Strengthening and encouraging need no bow, bag, or wrapping paper.
