And so it was Christmas

Have you tried to find the perfect gift for your loved one? Do you remember saving up your coins left from your pocket money to buy a gift for your parents? It was incredibly long before I could save up my pocket money to buy a gift.

The source of all good gifts (James 1:17) is our Heavenly Father and those gifts are an expression of His love for us. But out of all those gifts, one rises above the rest - the gift of His Son, Jesus. It deserves closer attention, calls for greater thanksgiving and demanded the highest cost imaginable from God. The gift of Jesus speaks of God's love for us. This is what makes Christmas a joyous time - for we celebrate God's greatest gift to us. (except from the Foreword of "The Perfect Gift" by RBC Ministries)

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son" John 3:16. Wishing you all a Blessed Christmas!
