If you are anything like me, you are now searching for the perfect gift for everyone on your list. So I'm making this short and sweet today.
As I "grow up" a little, I notice something more and more: people take God for granted. Lots of kids growing up in Christian schools don't appreciate the Cross at all. People don't read their Bibles, even though it's the one love letter we have from God.
Sometimes I fall into that category of not appreciating. But lately -- as I search for the perfect gift for the people I love -- I feel like I have already received all that I need. Through His sacrifice, we have all been given "the perfect gift." It is perfect love, perfect freedom and perfect forgiveness all wrapped in one.
Today, I am thankful for the Cross. I am thankful that it gives me a new day. I am grateful that through faith in Him, I am given a clean slate on earth and an eternity of Perfect in heaven.
As you celebrate the birth of our Savior, please remember, the perfect gift is not under the tree. It is in your heart. It is the beauty of knowing mercy and extending it to those around us. It is the beauty of a new day.
May your Christmas be full of joy.
Your friend,
Jen
