The Gift
December 20, 2012

We refer to Christmas as the season of giving. Most of us try hard to find gifts that friends and family will like, but not all gifts are equal. Some gifts come with a subtle hint, like an exercise machine or a book about weight loss. Other gifts are those that the giver really wants for himself. But the best gifts are those that come from someone who loves us and knows what we want.

Last Christmas, my pastor, Jim Samra, challenged us to think about Christ’s coming in another way. We know that Jesus was God’s perfect gift to us (Rom. 6:23), but Pastor Jim added another thought. He said that His coming to earth could also be looked at as a gift that Jesus gave to His Father. Jesus loved His Father and knew that what He wanted more than anything else was for us, His creation, to be reconciled to Him. Through His incarnation, Jesus made it possible for us to be a holy and blameless present to God (Col. 1:22).

Thinking of ourselves as a gift to God makes us want to be a present worth the cost, “fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (v.10).

Dear Lord, from whom all blessings flow,
Most precious gifts dost Thou bestow;
So truly faithful may I be
As Thou art gracious unto me. —Roworth

God’s highest Gift should awaken our deepest gratitude.

Read: Colossians 1:19-27

And you . . . He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight. —Colossians 1:21-22

Always remembering our troops...

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

DC Metroland weather report

Chance of rain 50%.

A few rumbles of thunder possible late.

Not going to complain about that prediction.
I believe we are still well below

Gotta post and run. A very busy day ahead.
Got reports to start on
so I can get them done by tomorrow.
And we have our office party today.

I'll be seeing you later tonight for a brief posting period.
And if I get a lot done today
I might be able to hang around the Canteen more tomorrow.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
