Everywhere I go these days there seems to be a feeling of "busy-ness" in the air. It's that time of year again when we run around trying to get everything ready for the upcoming holiday season. But, are we so burdened down trying to make Christmas so special, that we fail to see these "3 perfect gifts" that we already have?
The Gift of God's Son:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son"........He left Heaven to be this gift to us, the very reason we celebrate the Christmas season! Don't be burdened down with so many things to do. Slow down and raise your eyes and welcome HIM into your celebration, into your home and into your heart. He truly is the "most precious gift" we will ever receive!
The Gift of God's Grace:
Grace, the love and favor that God shows toward us. We don't do anything to deserve this grace but God gives it to us anyway. What if God's only gift to you this year was his grace to save you. Would you take it freely? Would you be content? From heaven's perspective; "grace is enough". His love and favor should make us content no matter the circumstances. Thank you God for your gift of grace---it is sufficient for our every need!
The Gift of His Promise:
"I will never leave you---I will come again". Not only was He born a baby so that we might know Him, He gave his live so that we might live with him! From the beginning of time this was God's plan and His promise for our lives. He is coming again and we will reign with him forever. Thank you for that promise. Because He lives we CAN face tomorrow.
So, which gift is more important.....The Gift of His Birth?
The Gift of His Grace?
The Gift of His Promise?
They are ALL essential, all of these are the evidence of Our Father's Love. So, this year, take all of these three gifts and hold them dear. They are greater than any gift you will find under your tree. Merry Christmas dear friends!
Always close in thought and prayer.
I love you guys,
Judy
His Birth: Luke 7-14-She brought forth her first born-son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger......
His Grace: 2Corinthians 12:9-My race is sufficient for thee.
His Promise: John 14:3-And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

We will not forget the greatest gift of all this season! Thanks for the reminder. We get so caught up in the wrong things and forget we have been given everything we could ever want or need in Jesus! Hope you have a great Christmas. Love you!
