“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.” Galatians 4:4-5
How much thought filled planning went into your Christmas shopping last year? Did you give much thought when picking out a special gift for a family member? How important was it for you to get that ‘special gift’ for your child, spouse, parent or sibling and be blessed to see them light up as they removed the wrapping paper to reveal a gift that brought about a huge smile and loud “WOW”, you shouldn’t have! My grandson gave me a hug as this year I gave him a card with cash.
Consider the gift that our Heavenly Father sent us. It only needed to be given once as it keeps on giving throughout the ages. Our Heavenly Father waited until history reached the proper moment in time and then sent Jesus. The timing was perfect; the Roman rule, Jewish ordination, passable roads, freedom, a degree of safety and a common trading language. He sent his Son to be a woman's son. From Heaven He sent His Son to earth to be the Savior of the world. He did it so all of the inhabitants of His world could be called His children. He gave the perfect gift of all time; for all time.
Thank you for sharing your gift of support for these children attending Christian schools in Haiti; enabling and preparing them to share the Gift of salvation with those still living in bondage to the vodou priests of Haiti. Now, may God go before you to guide you...may His hands be beneath you to support you, around you to protect you and above you to bless you. And may the blessings of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be with you today and every moment along your journey until you reach Paradise. Amen.
May God be with you,
Jay
