The Perfect Gift

Call off the Search… that “perfect” gift hunt.  It is Christmas time and I know everyone is out there looking for “the perfect gift”.  If you get the “perfect” gift for someone every year does that mean the gifts that were perfect in prior years are no longer perfect? Or is that to say we are not using “perfect” as an end all be all, but an ongoing idea? In which case…“best for this year” would be more accurate I guess?

I digress- the point I was making is that we will never be able to give the perfect gift no matter how hard we try.  That gift was already given about 2000 years ago when God sent his son to the earth.  Christmas isn’t about giving the perfect gift- it is about receiving the perfect gift that has already been given.  It is a gift that will never rust, never be eaten by moths, and never decay… one that cannot be stolen or taken from us unless we freely choose to push it away.  A gift that goes on for eternity… there is no gift any human could ever give that can top this.  So stop trying- breathe, relax, and receive this amazing gift.
