A Little Gift from Me to You

We get so caught up in the Holiday and all there is to do we forget the reason for the season. Last night when I went to bed I felt so overwhelmed with all the upcoming events and what I had to do that I turned my attention to God and asked for His peace. As I layed there this is what came to my mind so I got up at 2:00am and wrote it out.



The Gift of the Kingdom

 "The gift of the Kingdom of God is understood in Gods Oneness with His creation. God created us as a gift for Himself and in turn, He is a gift to us. I picture God as a circle O with no beginning and no end. When He created us, it was as if He twisted Himself in half ∞ and the One became two yet not separate, but unique in each other. If we were to unwind the shape, it would turn into a circle O again and reveal its true wholeness. Now if we take this circle and shape it into a triangle Δ it is still connected and whole.

At this time of Christmas, this triangle represents our Christmas tree.

Under this Christmas tree are limitless gifts that come with this understanding of the gifts of the Kingdom. These gifts are countless and everlasting. There is a package of Love, one of Peace, Joy, Hope, Faith, Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, Truth and Grace to name a few.

The story of Jesus Birth, which is the reason for the season, is parallel to the meaning of the gift of the Kingdom. God the Father created His Son and Jesus extends His Father onto us showing us the way back to God and His Oneness for which we were created.

The spirit of Christmas is to be lived everyday of our lives and there are endless gifts under His tree for us to open and rediscover as we journey through our everyday life. As God so graciously gives these gifts to us, we in turn are giving back through our acceptance. The extension of God continues through our acceptance and we in turn pass the gifts onto others as we live the truth of their meaning in our lives and through our examples.
