fl nristmas Is hare once again...another year nearly gone. Presents am being VL bought and wrapped. Perhaps this is a fitting time to consider God's presents

to us...then and now.

Certainly the greatest present God put upon the earth was His Son. Jesus Christ, whose birth we now celebrate. “And the angel said... ‘For behold, i bring you good news ot a great |oy...tor to you is born this day In the city of David a Savior, who Is Christ the Lord’.” (Luke 2:10-11) During His short life, Jesus gave to us the example of how we should live daily and taught us to have faith In His Father, the Creator of all.

God gave us another present, one that we cannot see. hear, or touch. Yet, we can tee I it unmistakably. God gave to us the present ot His presence. All we have to do Is ask Him tor It. It can never be surpassed. God's presence Is priceless...making us joyous when we leel sad and calming us when we are fearful.

This Christmas, wont you accept all ot God's presents to us? During this season of newness and birth, begin your life anew. Fill It with the awe of the Father. the daily wisdom of His Son. Christ Jesus, and the illumining presence ot the Holy Spirit in your heart. Merry Christmas. _
