If Jesus were here this Christmas, where would He be?

He would be at the Auburn Food Bank helping persons who need food.

He would be at the Auburn Senior Activity Center helping to provide a Christmas meal for seniors.

He would be with the dysfunctional families who are trying to use the season to make amends.

He would be with the persons who are buying gifts their loved ones will enjoy and not gifts to show off their wealth.

He would be with the Auburn citizens who are paying their fair share of taxes.

He would be with the Auburn citizens who will work at any job if their preferred job is not available.

He would be with the leaders who prevented a depression like 1929 and held the current economic downtown into a recession.

He would be in churches where the members are not asked to contribute to golden decorations but churches that use their funds to help the less fortunate.

He would be with leaders who bend every effort to prevent the horror of war.

He would be with those teachers and para educators who help special needs children.

The question is would you and I be with Him?
