Three Gifts

Our missionaries have been very busy this week.

And, in addition, at Christmas market’s, town squares and on many a street corner throughout Belgium and the Netherlands, missionaries have given away thousands upon thousands of gifts.

Greeting so many, the message is simple “𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂 𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓶𝓪𝓼”

We’re not talking about the latest Red/Blue Nintendo Switch for son, the Barbie Extra Deluxe for daughter, the beautiful new necklace and flowers for mum or the special new jumper and tie for dad.

No, none of those.

Set those and the many other gifts galore aside.

We didn’t even give away any gold, frankincense or myrrh.

Remember, the gold points to Jesus’ royalty, the frankincense to his divinity, and the myrrh to his humanity.

All of which we honour and respect.

Rather consider the little gifts we did giveaway.

Three little chocolate hearts filled with only one thing – 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮.

Through it all, there is perhaps one common denominator for Christmas – it is 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮…

“God be thanked for loving us enough to send His Only Begotten Son. Jesus Christ changed the world for each of us with His atoning sacrifice. He is the light of the world. He is the light we need to hold up. He is the light that fills us with good will toward all people.” Russell M. Nelson

We hope amid all the hustle and bustle of gifts and gatherings, you will let your life reflect the 𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 of Jesus Christ this Christmas time.

Merry Christmas dear friends.
