What are you going to give Jesus for Christmas? This is a question I asked my 7 year old granddaughter. With all the excitement she could muster, she said:
"Oh how can I give something to Jesus?"
I told her that whatever she did for someone else, if she did it because she loved Jesus that would be a gift to Him. She said:
"Mommy and I baked pumpkin bread and we are going to give it to our neighbors. Can that be my gift for Jesus?"
I told her that if she gave the pumpkin bread because she loved Jesus and wanted to share Him with her neighbors, that would be a great gift. She was so excited and said:
"I will, I will do it for Jesus."
What are you giving Jesus this Christmas?
Are you as excited as my granddaughter is about the gift you are giving to Jesus this Christmas?
Matthew 25:35-36:
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Blessings,
