A Time for Gifts

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

This is a season for gifts, and it's a reminder of God's good gifts he has for us. He has looked ahead into our lives and made provision for the things we need and desire. Once we had a friend who stayed with us for period of time, and we didn't want this friend to leave. This person would help us take care of our kids, help us pick up the groceries, and do all kinds of thoughtful things.

For example, one day we came home and there was a new tea kettle on the stove. Our friend had seen my wife drinking tea and noticed we didn't have a tea kettle, so she bought one without saying anything. I think it's the ability to be present and pay attention that leads to becoming great at giving gifts. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for all of God's gifts and we are asking him to help us become great gift givers ourselves. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

During the holiday season it can be easy to get off track in our health and fitness. Prioritize making a little progress each day. If you can win the early part of the day, it always helps, but if you get off track give yourself grace and get back on track as soon as possible. 

I am praying for you.
