Three Gifts
๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฝ๐ผ…
Our missionaries have been very busy this week.
There has been lots and lots of service in the community.
And, in addition, at Christmas marketโs, 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 โ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ป๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ช๐ผโ
Weโre 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 didnโt even give away any gold, frankincense or myrrh.
Remember, the gold points to Jesusโ 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 – ๐ต๐ธ๐ฟ๐ฎ.
Through it all, there is perhaps one common denominator for Christmas โ it is ๐ต๐ธ๐ฟ๐ฎ…
โGod 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.โ Russell M. Nelson
We hope amid all the hustle and bustle of gifts and gatherings, you will let your life reflect the ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฝ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐ต๐ธ๐ฟ๐ฎ of Jesus Christ this Christmas time.
Merry Christmas dear friends.
