The very best gift we can give doesn’t need to be wrapped.
By Rev. John W. Adams
strong>This time of year, we give lots of thought to giving presents to family, friends and others. It makes us feel good to do this and to watch them happily open and see what we have given. The very best gift we can give doesn’t need to be wrapped. It doesn’t cost anything, either. The very best gift we can give is our unconditional love. Taking into consideration all that has been going on this year, and regardless of how you may feel about someone, the best thing you can do for them and for yourself, is to love them unconditionally. This means that you will not judge them. You will just love them. Loving unconditionally is the very best gift you can give others, yourself, and the world. As you do, you add positive power to world consciousness helping to create real peace and harmony. This also helps in a big way to heal everyone.
Yes, the very best gift you can give this Christmas and every day is unconditional love. Give it freely to all, beginning with yourself. – Lovingly, Rev. John
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gifts.
2 Corinthians 9:15
Golden Keys to Answered Prayer ...
Try this: When you ask for something in prayer, instead of pleading with God to give it to you, say, Thank You, God, I am grateful! Repeat as often as necessary. That’s all you need to do. Let results take care of themselves.
In the Mail …
Miracles are happening! – It is amazing the miracles that keep happening in my life! Since I wrote to you and asked for prayer support, one miracle after another has happened. First, my husband stopped smoking. Then, our son who had been having difficulty in school and wanted to drop out, began to change his thinking. His grades have improved and he now has a new attitude toward himself and school. Also, our finances have substantially improved. We have our own business and after a few years of struggle, it is now beginning to prosper. We attribute that to our beginning to tithe and looking to God as our Source. Thank you for your prayers and teachings. We are all very grateful. Our thankful tithe is enclosed in support of the great work you are doing. Thank you for being there. – F. G. in New Mexico

A Little Humor …
While delivering lunches to the elderly with me, my 4-year-old was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of the seniors. I found her staring at a pair of dentures soaking in a glass of water. I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions. She merely turned and whispered, “The tooth fairy will never believe this!”
