' Opening their treasure chest, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.' Matthew 2:11
I am always so struck by the wonder and graciousness of God in the distribution of gifts for us.
Glorious rain, not just a little, but a lot.
Beautiful flowers with splashes of colours and deep perfumes. The colour would have been enough but no, he has added the perfume.......an extra gift.
The beauty of the coloured birds woulds have been a delight in themselves but again he added an extra gift of song, sweet melodious song.
A pair of ducks crossing the road.......waddling, enough to put a smile on my face but even again he added the 3 fluffy babies by their side.
Even the gift of the plain euchalyptus in flower, a brilliant flower from the plain green nut.
As we give gifts at Christmas to show our love of one another, so God gives us these gifts and so much more, to show his love for us.
I think we all know the saying: Every day is a gift from God. That's why its called the present.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
