I was at the orthodontist with my daughter this week. The workers were asking her what she wanted for Christmas. This reminded me of the question many of us ask our sponsor students. Many times I hear this question of the students, what is your favorite food? Almost always the student has no immediate reply. Why? My guess is that food is food and having the luxury of a favorite is just that, a luxury. Christ left his luxury to come and serve us. What is within your luxury that you could share with another?

Matthew 25:37-40 (New American Standard Bible)
37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
