With Christmas right around the corner what if instead of searching for gifts for family and friends we were to search our hearts for what gifts we could give Christ this next year?
What if instead of being all excited about what we might get under the tree, we were to get all excited about the gifts God's already given us?
You know, the things we take for granted. Like our life, every breath, the ground we walk on, and most of all the family and friends who haven’t forsaken us. You see these are the gifts of real importance and real substance because they are what make us who we are.
So this Christmas let’s not forget the real gifts we’ve been given by remembering God didn’t give us material things that first Christmas. He just materialized and generously and sacrificially gave us Himself leaving us the perfect example of what we should gift to Him and to those around us. And if we do this starting this Christmas and every day after, do you suppose our lives and the lives of those we say matter to us might just be more fulfilling because we will be filling them with the gift of our life and our love?
I know it will.
