I get so excited when I have the pleasure of buying a gift for someone else. I would much rather spend time and effort into picking out that right present than purchasing a gift card. Don’t get me wrong I love receiving gift cards but I prefer to buy something more tangible than a piece of plastic.

 

Christmas is about a month away and I love getting all of my shopping done way in advance. I love the moment the recipient unwraps their gift and sees the present for the first time. Can you imagine how Mary felt when she saw her newborn baby for the first time? He was literally the greatest gift anyone would ever receive.

 

I came to know Jesus really well in High School after I was baptized at 15. I didn’t grow up attending church regularly. In fact, my mom would take me to church and then pick me up when it was over. Her and my dad weren’t church- going people. I knew who Jesus was at an early age but didn’t give him my heart until my freshman year of high school.

 

My mom gave me my first bible in jr. high and I still have it. I appreciated my mom for giving me one of the greatest gifts even though she might not have known it at the time. Jesus wasn’t talked about in our home openly. In fact I don’t ever remember a single conversation with my parents about Jesus and what he did for me.

 

This, you see is an intricate part of parenthood. Sharing the gospel with our children. One very important piece of the gospel is God’s holy word, the Bible. Without it we wouldn’t know the beautiful characteristics of Christ and the price he paid for our sins.

 

Giving your child a bible for Christmas would be the single most important book they will ever read.
