It's a question being asked a lot this time of year by those young and old. What do you want for Christmas? What is on your list? Perhaps it is the latest toy, gadget or electronic. Some nice warm boots or a sweater or coat would be nice. There must be a movie or two and even some music or a gift card to the most popular store in town. Some things on the list may be too expensive to buy or too hard to locate. Others may be plentiful and priced just right. Of course many of the gifts are the responsibility of Santa and everyone knows his list is the longest and double checked before delivery on Christmas.
The things I have in mind for this year's Christmas list have been on the list year after year. They can't be bought in any store or on-line, in fact even Amazon doesn't even carry them! They are gifts that only Jesus Christ himself can provide and are on the list of multitudes and in the daily prayers of many around the globe. My Christmas list looks like this:
X
Joy
Love
Peace
Kindness
Goodness
Gentleness
Harmony
Health
Grace
XXXXXXXX
What about you? Does your list contain these too? It is likely that one or more of these priceless gifts of God are ones you are asking for. My wish for you is that your Christmas is one filled with the Spirit of the One whose birth we celebrate and bursting full of the gifts that only he can provide to those he loves.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23
