On the night of Christmas our Lord Jesus Christ did not come among us with lots of heavenly souvenirs , but He wanted to become a gift. It is great to give and receive , but we should not just simplify , reduce it to some trinkets, glass beads, odds and ends. Why could not I ask from God , what I really need the most ? And why could not I listen to what my wife is asking from God through me ? I should think what my child is asking from his Creator through me?
If I quieten down I’ll realise , that I have to become a gift. Every earthly object can only be a setting for the conscious giving of ourselves as a present.
