“Giving a good gift is much more than handing over a nice or useful object; it’s about communicating a message, a message that often can’t be put into words…The ideal gift, I always feel, should be perfect for the one who is to receive it and also reveal something of the one who gives it. In this way, giving can be an incredibly special and personal act of love…”

We pray you have a blessed Christmas with family and friends. We are chilling together as a family in Colorado. We also hope you are able to get alone with God today to thank Him for the indescribable gift of Jesus (cf. 2 Corinthians 9:15).
God’s gift of His one and only Son is “the ideal gift” for all mankind. In that sense, the Christ of Christmas reveals the unfathomable love of the Father for the whole world (cf. John 3:16). Thank you, Father in heaven, for the gift of Jesus!
