God's Eternal Christmas Gift
“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 HCSB
Very early on Christmas morning, children awake and long to find their gifts under the tree. Weary parents–who have undoubtedly been up too late the night before–are hoping for a few more minutes of sleep before the big event!
When our boys were younger, we made them wait for us to gather the video camera, head downstairs, and turn on the tree lights. We’d get in position to capture their surprised and smiling faces when they saw all that was assembled!
A young girl shared that she and her brother call each other from their beds to guess what their gifts will be until the 7:30am opening time arrives.
This excitement makes Christmas morning one of the most anticipated days of the year! It is also the one that is most prepared for and dreamed of.
