The Christmas Gift Brings Excitement (#112)
Hmm…
It’s funny – we spend so
much time, energy and money for that big day.
We shop ‘till we drop; and buy things we don’t really need.
Then, what happens? Christmas Day comes and goes; just like that,
it’s all over!
Yes, I must admit,
Christmas is an exciting time. I think
the excitement is more palpable when the spending is focused on others. Like buying presents for those who really
need and appreciate them.
Now that I think about it,
God must have been excited when He gave us His Son that first Christmas.
If you think that the
recipients of the first Christmas gift– Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds etc. – were
excited and thrilled, just imagine the joy God felt knowing the purpose He had
designed, the salvation of mankind, was being manifested in the Christ Child.
So, how will you be
spending Christmas this year?
Hopefully, reflecting on
and accepting God’s gift to us that first Christmas.
So, what will you give in
return?
