The Greatest Gift Of All Time

So how was Christmas 2020 for you? Is this holiday season living up to your expectations? Or was it just another day for you? Amid the pandemic, many spent time with their families, whether remote or in-person. I decided to shelter in place and be safe at home. This gave me a chance to reflect on the year that was markedly different from 2019. As I looked back, I gave thanks that NO ONE in my immediate or extended family got the coronavirus.  NO ONE lost their job or their home. EVERYONE  has clothes on their backs, shoes on their feet, and food on the table. EVERYONE is thankful and grateful that we made it this far. Coming from the Midwest (Hello Cleveland), we all have a strong Christian work ethic and strong family ties. I wish the same for the rest of the  world and hopefully we'll get there. Let me tell you though, this was not the greatest gift. I  actually received my gift over 2000 years ago. His name is Jesus Christ,  son of the Living God. He came to earth to die for sinners like you and me, and redeem us to Abba Father. God knew us before the beginning of time, and loved us unconditionally. Regardless of the mistakes we made, he still cared about us. When we were in sin, it grieved Him. So much so, He gave His only begotten Son to save us. Not a preacher. Not a prophet. Not an evangelist. Not an apostle. GOD SENT HIS VERY BEST GIFT!!! I'm so glad that Jesus saved me at an early age, and has kept me until this present moment. Have you ever given anyone your very best? Have you ever received a gift you didn't know you needed? If so, were you glad to get it? How many thank yous have you bestowed on the giver? If you have difficulty answering these questions, take the time to reflect deeply and seek professional help if needed. I could never tell everything that God has done for me, even with 10,000 tongues. How about you? What do you have to say?
