Merry Christmas to all of you. Enjoy your family and friends. Don’t get upset if you didn’t get the gift you wanted. Remember it’s not about the gifts anyway. It’s about Jesus and he’s the ultimate gift.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
It’s Not Your Birthday
Today my daughter kept asking me what am I getting her for her birthday. I told her, we haven’t even made it to Thanksgiving and Christmas yet. Her birthday is in January. She said mom, in her voice that she uses when she’s irritated.
Finally, I said; you want me to get you something for Christmas and your birthday. I explained to her that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday, and how would it look if I gave you a present on somebody else’s birthday. Do you think Jesus would be ok with that? She was really irritated now, but I was trying to make a point.
All my daughter saw was that she could get gifts for Christmas and her birthday. She never realized that Christmas was Jesus’ birthday, but he never gets a present. We never get a cake and sing to him. We never say on Christmas Day, hey come to my house the parties going down for Jesus.
I just wanted to give her something to think about. And, to let her know because Christmas is coming doesn’t mean she’s getting gifts, she’s only guaranteed a present on her birthday.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
