The Gift~

Definition: A gift is the transfer of something without the expectation of receiving something in return. 
 
There are privileges to maturing in age, and one of them is the gift of grandchildren, and during this holiday season, I am reminded of how I am so blessed beyond measure!  My children and grandchildren are gifts from God that invite love and unify families.  Like a king and queen’s crown, they are exceptionally valuable and are to be proudly displayed.

“Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.”
Proverbs 17:6

As I celebrate Christmas together this season with my family, and grandchildren… I thank Him for giving us the greatest gift of all. Jesus.
 
As Christians we celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas, but yet even more, I praise God for the gift of salvation and eternal life that was given to us though Jesus Christ.

So as I love on these little ones I need to make sure to sow into them the Word of God, and model for them grace, love, forgiveness, and fear of the Lord. I will teach them to keep their eyes on Jesus, for He will never let them down. Thank you God for the gift of Jesus.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
