I just checked my emails after I did my last post, and I had received an email from DaySpring about their "Jesus is The Gift" 'movement'. Very cool - and the website has some great ideas on ways to make Christmas more meaningful. I thought I'd share it, in case you want to check it out. I did not write the following poem, but it is so appropriate. Have a blessed Christmas season!!!
Jesus is the Gift
Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart
and it is with His love that all celebration starts.
We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth
and thank God for sending His only Son to earth.
His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill
where He faithfully followed His Father’s perfect will.
He freely laid down everything so that we could live,
and there is no greater treasure anyone could give.
Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross
and He offered it to us all at the greatest cost.
So each time that we give we remember what He’s done
and honor the perfect Gift—God’s one and only Son.— Author is Holley Gerth
