Christmas is almost here....YEAH!!!!! I'm pretty much almost done with all my shopping and wrapping. With the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Season, I have tried not to forget the REAL, TRUE meaning of the season. As I shop and think of the perfect gift....I'm trying not to forget "THE" PERFECT GIFT.....trying not to forget who we are celebrating.
Luke 2: 11-14
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

This is the season we celebrate Jesus' birth!!!!!!
And with that being said, the other day as I was driving to work, it was like Jesus was asking me..."What will you give me this year?" And I thought hard and pondered on what Jesus wanted the most this year. Perhaps He wants me to be closer to Him......Trust Him more......Pray with Him more.......Give Him more of me???
Matthew 2:10-11
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.
The gifts the 3 wise men gave Jesus....WOW!!! Do you realize how much that stuff was worth back then? They gave their BEST to Jesus....their BEST to the King of Kings.
So as you shop, wrap your gifts, exchange your gifts and enjoy the Christmas Season with family and friends......take some time and ask yourself....
"What can I give Jesus.............?"

Good post.
Good answer!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both you and Mark!
Gabby, I've been feeling the same way about this Christmas. What is the real reason? Why do we celebrate? Every year we say the same things, the Real Meaning of Christmas, but this year it's been a real question for me. I want it to be a sincere Christmas. Not about gifts but about our heart and our relationship with our Hero Jesus!
