In looking for ideas for Christmas gifts
I found these suggestions from Oren Arnold: For your enemy, forgiveness. For an
opponent, tolerance. For a friend, your heart. For a customer, service. For every
child, a good example. For yourself, respect.
That got me thinking about some other
gift suggestions as well: For your neighbor, charity. For a coworker or
classmate, encouragement. For your pastor, support. For the lonely,
companionship. For the grieving, a remembrance. For all everywhere, the love of
God in Christ Jesus. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only
Son…” (John 3:16a)
Maybe this prompts you to think about
Christmas gifts in a different way. We’d love to hear from you about your ideas
for Christmas giving this year.
