Emphasis Preaching Journal

Many years ago, Thomas A. Fry, Jr., asked people what they wanted for Christmas. Here are some responses: One woman wanted, more than anything else in the world, a word from her husband that he loved her, and that he would give up the other woman. A boy said that he wanted a chance to talk and play with his dad, who was always too busy for him. A husband said he wanted to see a smile on his wife's face, and to hear her laugh again. A businessman wanted a word of encouragement from a co-worker who always criticized him.
