My kids were talking last night about gifts, oddly enough. Around a bowl of soup, Lauren said that all Jesus wants for Christmas is for us to give Him our hearts. It sparked an interesting conversation. I decided to let them continue and just listen. Finally, I chimed in and told them that the gift Jesus really wants is obedience. They all just looked at me. No one said a word, then Lauren says, "Yep, mom, you're right."
You see if we all were just obedient to live as He has instructed us to do, then would we be in the messes we are in? Probably, no definitely not.
As you put up your decorations at home, inside and out, remember to decorate yourself with obedience. Consider it the big red bow on the present you give to the baby Jesus.
