The Most Marvelous Gift

2 Corinthians 5:21-6:1

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.  As God's partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift and then ignore it.

 

It has been so fun to watch Brandon this Christmas.  Almost everyday, he looks under the Christmas tree and sorts through the gifts pulling aside the ones labeled with his name which by now he has conveniently stacked together .  He then proceeds to admire the packages, gently shake, then guess what could be inside.  Last night he even went to go get other things he thought sounded like what could be inside to compare their noises.  He is bursting with anticipation and we can't imagine how excited he will be to open and enjoy them.

 

It made me think.  What am I doing with God's most precious gift?

 

Salvation through Jesus....

admire, unwrap, open, delight,

be amazed, enjoy, show other, share.

 

 

We are looking forward to our upcoming trip to Iowa and the chance to see many of you.  Thank you for your calls, prayers, friendship and support for God's work here in Alaska.  Merry Christmas to you all!   -the Ruisch Family
