My oh my this has been a busy week. 4 full days of baking and sweet making, three days of our son visiting, two Christmas events and one household evening. Daily was a delight!
I’m usually one of many first to get my annual Christmas letter and playing cards within the mail however not this yr. I simply completed the Christmas letter yesterday so it’ll arrive late. I informed Dave yesterday that I simply wanted to sit down by the fireplace final evening and calm down. Mates dropped over and though our dialog was brief, it crammed my coronary heart with love and gratitude.
Then the night ended with us having fun with my favourite Christmas film, White Christmas, for the 51st time as a married couple. It’s what we do!!
With each exercise, each cinnamon roll and banana bread made, I’ve been grateful for the Father’s great love and our many, many blessings. I’m grateful that He has given us breath for this life and offered us with everlasting life to observe.
This morning I’m recycling and regifting a writing from years in the past. I hope its which means touches your coronary heart.
I noticed a phase on the information about re-gifting and it received me to considering. Have I ever re-gifted? There have been extra occasions than I wish to admit over the past 50 years that I’ve actually been tempted too however to truly do it – sure, I’ve!
However then I spotted that day by day I dwell must be an act of re-gifting. My life is a treasured present from the Father. However even my life is a “re-gift”. Jesus got here to provide us the present of life – He gave His life for us.
“I’m crucified with Christ: however I dwell; but not I, however Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now dwell within the flesh I dwell by the religion of the Son of God, who liked me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 KJV
I would like my life to be a re-gifting of what Christ has given me – forgiveness, love, pleasure, peace. Then I would like others to re-gift those self same issues as many occasions as they want.
“And so religion, hope, love abide [faith—conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope—joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; however the biggest of those is love.” I Corinthians 13:13 AMP
Let’s all take the items that now we have acquired from the Father and re-gift them to others.
