Joyfully Give Jesus a Gift



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Do you have your Christmas shopping done?  (Or have you even started?)   You can always give the gift of JOY!  It doesn’t cost a penny, but, oh, how it lasts!

             It is human nature to like getting new things. Christmas time is  no exception. Most of us enjoy seeing our name on a package under the Christmas tree. But let’s not get so caught up in the gifts that we miss the most important thing: Celebrating the birth of our Savior.        Jesus should always be the focus of our Christmas.  As we share the true meaning of Christmas, may we realize that it’s not the material gifts which are important.

        Here’s an idea!  Why not give Jesus a gift?  The gift of your TIME?  Read His Word and seek His guidance through the scriptures.  We should spend time in prayer, praising God & thanking Him for the indescribable gift of Jesus!!  (2 Corinthians 9:15)

            When our hearts are in tune with His, then we will be able to see more clearly what is truly important.  Parents, spending time with your children is a precious gift.  They would much rather have YOU and your attention than any gift that can be bought!

            This Christmas, set aside time to spend with Jesus and your “someones special”. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. Just give them your time!  This may be your family’s favorite Christmas gift of all…. A gift wrapped in JOY!

When planning your gift for the special ones in your life, choose to give them love and joy by simply giving them the precious, valuable gift called “time”.
