Though Christ is the greatest gift of all
the gifts of God better than our own
in ways both big and small
offering us gifts,
the desires of our hearts
what we need,
not what we say we want
Grace, love, given in creation
in the little things day to day
Beauty, hope, eternal life
the spirit with us on the way
Guiding us, granting us peace
each day, a celebration

Matthew 7:11
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”
