The song "My Favorite Things" from the classic movie, Sound of Music, is sometimes heard during this holiday season.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Wisdom in this simple song. Giving thanks for the good things we have been blessed is good for the soul.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! 2 Cor. 9:15
This bible verse reminds us that the greatest gift from God is found in Jesus. What makes this gift so wonderful?
The gift of Christ allows to experience today the riches of God's grace, kindness, patience, wisdom, power and mercy!
The gift of Christ means eternity is being with God forever. We will be completely changed to be like Christ. And we will be freed from all pain, death, and suffering.
Now those are not just favorite things but ultimate things for everyone to embrace! This is what we celebrate at Christmas: God's indescribable gift.
Prayer: "We give thanks to you, God, for all that Jesus Christ gives. Help us to receive this gift by faith."
Gift to others: Tell 3 people you are thankful that you know them!"
