As I was listening to my pastor’s sermon on Sunday, I had a thought of gifts. We all get excited when someone tells us or presents to us a gift. Who doesn’t like a gift, right? For me it could be something as simple as a card or gift card (smile) and I’m excited; and for others it could be clothes, shoes, makeup, and the list goes on and on.

As a Christian we are all striving to be more like Jesus, we are are striving to be more loving, forgiving, non-judgmental, you know all of those things and then some.
