When we have our white elephant parties at year's end, a small part of me always cringes when someone picks up my gift, because I'm afraid it'll be a letdown. And it's the same way when I pick up someone's gift - if it's something I don't like, I don't want it to show, because I want to show them that I like it, even when I don't. Because I know they'll be happy to see me enjoy it, and I want them to be able to enjoy that.

And if that's true of me, how much more is it true of a God who delights in giving good gifts to His children? And I think He delights in us enjoying those things and enjoying Him. So He gave the perfect gift - it can't be stolen, it can't be bought, it can't be replaced. The gift of eternal life and immeasurable joy in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Let's dance!
