Today has been a BUSY day…i intended on writing this post this morning. But things quickly went against my original plan. As everyone knows this is DECEMBER 1st. Simply crazy in my mind!!
But as i prepare for one of the greatest holiday’s we celebrate as believers I think about all the gifts…..Not gifts that i get but giving 🙂 I make almost every gift i give. Not all BUT most. And i I think about these things i am reminded of the Kings . Tho they were not present at the very first Christmas we often see them in most manger scenes with their pots of gold, frankincense and Myrth. They are usually ornate pots. then i think of my gifts, the ones I am making, not nearly ornate enough to be fit for the most high King. but then i remember i am not giving them to HIM but to my family or friends. Those who can use these items . BUT then I thought …hmmmm…Maybe i am giving something to God. That’s my time, my diligence my love. i pour over these things and i use my gifts and talents. I give it all i have and yet it shows God I love him enough to use what he has given me…just like when my loved ones use the very items i make and give them. And in turn i am showing my loved ones the Love of christ as I sacrifice time for them. It would be much easier to buy something BUT I love them.
So i am super THANKFUL for the many gifts and abilities that God has given to me and i pray that i can use each one of them to the best of my ability and that God would be glorified through each and every one of them 🙂 Have a VERY Happy December!
