Kick off "Radical Christmas: Love in Action" by exploring the shift from superficial "gaze" (looking) to profound seeing that sparks compassion. Personal tales—like a timely hamper amid burnout or elevator dad panic—show how small acts (texts, meals) deeply impact because they truly see needs. Critique modern "professional looking" via scrolling/judgment/bias (choir miss story), quoting Christine Caine: "You can't unsee." Seeing costs but echoes God's Christmas act: Sending Jesus to our mess (Jn 3:16). Practical: Hampers/vouchers say "I see you"; kids' market disciples generosity. Challenge: Offer what's in hand—small multiplies like boy's lunch. Not seasonal—lifestyle love defies loneliness/anxiety. Prayer invites surrender, seeing Jesus' gaze. Beyond gaze: Acts change everything, revealing hope.
