Christmas, I Think I Found You

Other than my manager's ephiphany at work, this is the best thing I've heard all month from our friend V the K. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing, but food for thought this good has to be shared:

"This year as I was shopping for the boys, since finances were a little tight, I wasn't able to get them everything on their lists, and I had to make some substitutions. I still ended up spending a lot more than I thought I was going to. I also bought them some things they didn't ask for, but I thought they'd like. All the time, I was wondering. "Can I afford to do this? Will this be enough? Will they appreciate these gifts?"

It occurred to me to wonder whether Heavenly Father might have thought similar things when he sent his gift, His Son, to Earth. "Can I afford this?" For Heavenly Father to sacrifice His Son must have been very costly to Him. "Will this be enough? Will they appreciate this gift?" Would humanity fully appreciate the gift He sent to us?

Merry Christmas, Marcus."

End Chorus from The Grinch:

Where are you, Christmas?
I think I found you
This time, I'll make you stay.

We'll all be singing
Bells will be ringing
Now and forever
[On] Christmas Day.
