the gift you have to give

what is the greatest gift you have been given

to help make God’s love real in the life you see around you?

what is the gift you have to give?
what gold of the kindness of humanity-
or frankincense of simple love,
what myrrh of forgiving redemption
do you have as a gift to the Lord.

it’s a long way up to God…
it’s a long way down to the manger…

yet, right now
is time to give my best to God’s holy child who lives among us now….


‘In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? …. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage.’ Matthew 2:1,9
