Yes, gifts for Christmas can be disappointing. I got the red sled with the four wide runners, just like it looked in the Sears catalog. I pulled it across John’s field and up the mountain trail that Joe used to cut pulp. Placed myself in a sitting position and believed it would be the ride of my life. After pushing, jerking and pleading, this thing just wouldn’t slide.
The vision of a kid pulling a beautiful sled back home is a scene in my mind from sixty years ago. That sled never did speed down a hill with a happy kid on board. Since that time there have been a few gifts without any real practical purpose.
Thank God He has given us a gift that is valuable for the present and good for eternity.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Claim the greatest Gift ever given.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Do a study on New Testament Gifts.
Think about it.
