Burning Question:
It’s Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day! When and where would you go?
Morning Devotional:
So I got a text from a friend inviting me to a Christmas gathering in a couple of weeks. I haven’t seen them in a while so it should be a lot of fun. There’s one little hitch, though. I have to bring a white elephant gift.
Christmas shopping for me is hard enough, but a white elephant gift? Knowing these friends, it has to be quirky, absolutely useless, probably a regrettable purchase, and something that will create some good laughter.
It’s not exactly the criteria you think about when you consider the gifts we receive from God. All of the wonderful things we have in our lives are just not described that way. God’s gifts and blessings are amazing.
James 1:17 says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” God doesn’t give us spiritual “white elephants.” He gives only what is good and perfect. We can certainly have fun this season, but let’s make sure we praise our Father for His perfect, unchanging generosity.
