1 Peter 4:10 NASB "As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God." Maybe it's not about finding the perfect store bought gift! Today's Word challenges us to use the gift we have been given by God! Working over 100 hours a week, to make the money to buy my wife and kids the store bought gifts wasn't the answer. They didn't need store bought gifts, they needed their dad and my wife needed her husband. Not until I was forced to stop working all those hours did I realize the best gift, besides Jesus, that I could give my family was ME! Time with their dad, time with her husband. Let's not get caught up in the world's view of giving gifts but realize the importance of giving our families the gift of ourselves. You can't buy that in any store or any on line purchase! They will relish that gift more than any other! In fact that's the gift God gave the world, He gave Himself in the form of Jesus. peace, tom
