A Great Joy To All People!

"I bring you good news,

that will cause great joy

to all people."
Luke 2:10 (NIV)

Last night, some friends and I went to tour the Leduc Country Lights, a spectacular five-acre display of Christmas lights.

It is a major fund-raiser for the local food bank and the owner's way of giving back to the community.

The owner's most cherished childhood memory of Christmas is simple. It is when his family went every year to the Royal Canadian Legion to see Santa Clause and receive a brown paper bag filled with an orange, some peanuts and candy.

The owner's display may have cost him over $100,000, but last year he was able to donate 7,000 pounds of food to the needy, plus spread the Christmas spirit to all people. And the Christmas spirit causes great joy to all people because the birth of Jesus Christ is such good news!
