Spiritual gifts....

It's that time of year when most people stress out about buying gifts. What to buy, who to buy and how much to spend? Not me; I give to someone less fortunate and to my family and friends; I give out "hugs."

Women's Daily Devotional -
Unlike earthly parents, God the Father gives perfect gifts because they are spiritual gifts uniquely suited to each of us. There's no such thing as a Christian who's been spoiled rotten with spiritual gifts. God gives gifts that fit us perfectly, gifts that fill and complete us.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

I'm thankful that, "Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights." Love that verse. He knows us each so deeply, that is a gift in itself and love beyond compare freely to all. What better thing could there possibly be?

Would that be nice. I need to do more of that. I am not very huggy but I think I would like to be! So here I go...I am gonna start scaring the wits out of my friends when I hug them, :) It;ll be kinda fun!

Oh I promise I did not send that snow your way! It is cozy though isn't it! Hope you didn't plan to travel for the holidays...I have been watching the news & that doesn't look promising! Book & cocoa...that is all you need -Oh & a window seat to watch those big fluffy snowflakes! Take Care & stay in China! :)

An excellent post. True, spiritual
gifts are unending, always enhance
and respect our personality and
come without conditions.

Merry Christmas!
