The Gift.

I can remember as a child getting lots of wonderful gifts for Christmas. Oh I got all kinds of things, remote control cars, action figures, cd players, a TV and cloths. But if you were to ask me what the best gift I ever got for Christmas was. I would have to say time. Oh, I did not know that it was the nest gift I was receiving then as a child. I was like any other child "show me the toys!" Looking back though, it was the time; the time that someone took of themselves to give to me, to think enough of me to give of themselves. You might say well your parents have to give you Christmas gift. Do they? No, I can remember my mother doing extra things just so we would have just a little for Christmas. Again, time spent on me. I could see my grandfather every holiday making time to talk to each member of the family. Such wonderful memories made with others time. It is the same for God; He took the time to cross the vast distance from heaven to earth. Just so he could have time with you. Make time for someone this Christmas, you do not have to buy them a gift or lavish them with things. All they really want is a little of your time. Give that someone you have not talk to in a while a call. Take a friend to lunch. Find a needy family or child and meet there need as you can. Maybe it is that you need to spend some time with the creator and rest in His loving arms. I promise you that giving a little of your so called busy time, that you will not be disappointed.
