It is about that time of year when all the stores have put out their holiday decorations and the anxious thoughts of what to buy everyone for Christmas begin. I was decluttering the office this evening and found a church bulletin from around Christmas time last year. Dave Stone, Senior Pastor at Southeast Christian Church (in Louisville where I grew up), preached on Jesus being the ultimate Christmas gift to us. He also presented a list of questions that we should consider when thinking about our gift-giving. I'll share the list of questions we should all try to ask ourselves at some point!
- Is it meaningful?
- Does it strike a personal chord?
- Does it enhance the relationship?
- Does it require sacrifice?
I am going to try to incorporate meaning into my gifts this year, rather than focusing on a certain dollar amount. We'll see what I end up with!
