The Ideal Christmas Gift for Loved Ones



Today is Boxing Day and I am sure most of you are expecting gifts from friends and family. Most of the time
, we expect people to give us gifts that we need most that we forget the real meaning of gifts.


When getting someone a gift it is important to put some thought into it. Do not get something just because you have to buy a gift. Gifts are supposed to be treasured and you can only treasure something that is carefully picked.

This does not mean that I am allowing you not to appreciate what you are given. Some people put a lot of thought and effort in finding gifts but at times they fail to meet our standards. If this happens just take the gift show some appreciation and remember that, it is the thought that counts.

One of the best examples of gift selection is found in the story of baby Jesus. When Jesus was born, the wise men took to Him gold, frankincense and myrrh, (Matthew 2:11). One would ask why they took to Him such expensive gifts or what benefits were the gifts to Jesus and His family?

The answer is simple; the wise men knew how important and precious Jesus would be to the world. They were well aware of His great value to us and that is why they got Him very expensive gifts. For them, where Jesus was laid or His family background did not form the basis of their judgement but they looked at His greater value.


Today as you give or receive that gift, look at how much that person means to you and you will able to get the right gift or appreciate what you receive.
