The best gift: His gift.

‘Tis the season.
Wide ribbons, bright red and green
Sparkles everywhere
Hot chocolate and crisp mornings
The smell of pumkin pie
Christmas cards with peace, doves and winter scenes
What is the best gift?
Once upon a time I got a gift
It was not decorated with ribbon and bows
It was not bought at a mall or a superstore
It did not even involve someone waiting in line
This gift was the best gift ever
It was the gift of life.
For, It was my time
On that day, In sunny California
I received my gift, my gift of life
Jesus is the reason..
As I wrap presents and put them under the tree
I think of Jesus and what he did for me
He willingly gave his life
So that I can live mine…
It was the ultimate sacrifice
No wrapping paper can cover that,
No ribbon big enough
No basket or bag deep enough
No box can contain…
His gift
His gift did not contain the stresses of the season
And did not even involve walmart
His gift was the gift of life,
It was his life…that he gave for me and for you too
I can not Thank God enough..for my life, for my child, and for you.
What is your gift?
He gave willingly so that we can receive love,
So that we can give love
So we can give hope
So that we can give gifts too
Gifts that don’t involve bows and ribbons
love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
gentleness, and
self-control
The best gifts are those we do not see
The best gift God gave us was his Son
The best give I can give are those that are
Not visible, but are within me
Such as love and joy
Peace and faithfulness
Open your gifts…from me to you…
Gifts of blessings, of love and laughter
Gifts from my heart.
Your gift is unseen but it is real…
Know that the best gifts are those that do not have fancy ribbons and bows.
