As my children read the Christmas Story to us out of Luke this year and then began opening gifts I was reminded of an amazing thing. Even if a gift was not their "favorite" gift they accepted all of them. There was not one gift that was given back to me with a rude comment about how they did not want it, or even a polite excuse about why it just would not work out for them to receive this particular gift.
Then my mind drifted to the actual "GIFT" that we are celebrating. I am amazed at the different responses that people give for not accepting this gift. Some totally reject the gift and never even bother to open it to see what it is, others open the gift but them give it back saying it will not work for them to receive this gift.
So, what did you do with your gift of Jesus? Did you accept ALL your gifts this Christmas?
May you have a blessed Christmas this day and a year filled with the blessings of accepting the gift of Jesus!
