Undeserving of this gift

Each year I feel like the Lord teaches me something new around the holiday season. One year I was just about give birth to my son Titus (which actually happened 4 years ago now). That year I felt like I could really think of some of those pondering thoughts Mary must of had. Another year since then I watched a Cantata that spoke of what live would be like if "Jesus hadn't come." I still think on that often and can't imagine my life with out him and how others need to meet Him. This year as my boys were acting up I thought about threatening them with "you won't get any presents...." but that wasn't going to be true so I didn't say it. I love my boys and I wanted to show them that by giving them some gifts. Then I thought about God how although we are so undeserving, how I was an enemy of Gods. He still sent His only Son Jesus to be born in a manger so one day he could die for my sins on an old rugged cross. I am so thankful this year especially for God's unconditional love to me and the gift of his son Jesus!
