GIFTS, GIFTS, GIFTS AND MORE GIFTS, HOORAY!

Yes, it is Christmas time again. Is there anyone out there like me who tries to guess what presents they’ll get?

Well, I do it every year. I try to guess what I’ll get and I really get so excited waiting for Christmas day so that I can open my presents.
I always like my presents but the problem is that I do not do anything with some of the things I am given. When I get them I am really excited but I kind of forget them… well, actually, I eat the chocolate and sweets etc. then forget the others, stupid huh?!

I feel really bad when I go through my stuff and discover things I was given at Christmas two or three years ago which have not even seen the light of day for ages! Recently, I gave away one of the things I was given for Christmas and I felt better because I felt that the gift could be used by someone else and not just sit somewhere in my room Christmas, after Christmas, after Christmas…

While I was thinking about all this a thought popped into my head... I just wondered if sometimes I treated Jesus, God’s gift, like the way I treat some of my presents – you know, stuffing the gift somewhere…and forgetting all about it…

What do you say to all this?
