Receive the Gift

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

It's so much fun to watch children open gifts at Christmas. Their faces light up when they first see the brightly wrapped packages, and they are giddy with excitement tearing into the paper to see what's inside. It's such a special time for parents and grandparents to see these sweet children fully immersing themselves in the joy of Christmas morning. As adults, we don't always appreciate the fun of getting gifts. God has blessed us with so many amazing gifts every single day, and we often overlook them! This week, appreciate all the gifts that the Lord has given you. Take time to name each one and thank Him. Remember that as we enjoy the gifts we share, the most important gift of all was when God sent us His son, Jesus. What love the father has for us that He should call us His children and give us the gift of salvation!
