Why did he do it? A shack would have sufficed, but he gave us a mansion. did he have to give the birds a song and the mountains a peak? Was he required to put stripes on the zebra and the hump on the camel?...Why wrap creation in such splendor? Why go to such trouble to give such gifts?
Why do you? You do the same. I've sen you searching for a gift. I've seen you stalking the malls and walking the aisles. I'm not talking about the obligatory gifts...I'm talking about the extra-special person and that extra-special gift.....Why do you do it?...You do it so the heart will stop. You do it so the jaw will drop. You do it to hear those words of disbelief, "you did this for me?"
That's why you do it. And that is why God did it. next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers, "do you like it? I did it just for you." Max Lucado
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas as you celebrate the greatest gift God sent us....His Son!
