"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift."

I had breakfast this morning with a dear friend. I use that adjective two ways - a dear person and dear to me. James wrote, "Every good and perfect gift comes from above." This morning's breakfast was a blessing from God.

This evening we had a very brief Christmas Eve service.
The people really are the best part.
God has repeatedly blessed me with wonderful sheep whom it is a privilege to shepherd.

Tomorrow we remember the greatest gift ever given, God's Son. Motivated by nothing but love, given without any expectation of recompense, and "just what we needed."
T'ank you, Fadder.
