GRACE For The Moment...Inspirational

Thoughts for Each Day of the Year...

December 23rd

 

 

 

Why did he do it?

A shack would have sufficed, but he gave us a mansion.

Did he have to give the birds a song and mountains a peak?

 

 

 

 

Was he required to put stripes on the zebra and the hump on the camel? ...

 

 

Why wrap creation in such splendor?

Why go to such trouble to give such gifts?

 

 

Why do you?

You do the same.

 I've seen you searching for a gift. ...

stalking the malls and walking the aisles...

searching for that extraordinary gift for that special person.

 

 

 

 

 

 ... Why do you do it? You do it so the heart will stop. You do it so the jaw will drop. You do it to hear those words of disbelief. "You did this for me?"

 

That's why you do it.

And that is why God did it.

 

 

 

 

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers. "Do you like it? I did it just for you." 

 

 

 

Thanks be to God

for His gift

that is too wonderful for words.
