My siblings and I had very unselfish parents.\u00a0\u00a0Some will not understand the level of their commitment to us, but we do.\u00a0\u00a0We knew it simply was an expression of their love.\u00a0\u00a0Not a forced expression, but one that flowed from within them.\u00a0\u00a0This was not from one of them, it was from both of them.\u00a0\u00a0My parents drove a 1968 Ford Country Esquire Station Wagon for a lot of years.\u00a0\u00a0Before they bought a new car for themselves they bought all three of us cars.\u00a0\u00a0A new car for my sister, a slightly used car for me, then a new car for my brother.\u00a0\u00a0They had to pay off all those cars before they could buy themselves a new one.\u00a0\u00a0It took a few years before they could again get their own new car.\u00a0\u00a0They were not wealthy.\u00a0\u00a0We lived in a nice, but modest home in a modest neighborhood.\u00a0\u00a0The point is, they gave to us from their deep love when they could have very easily not given.\u00a0\u00a0It was above and beyond the call of duty.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s how they always were.\u00a0\u00a0They did their best for us.\u00a0\u00a0Again, not out of conscious, but from the love in their hearts.\u00a0\u00a0We were all much loved.<\/p>\n

All the gifts were wonderful, but most wonderful were the gift givers.\u00a0\u00a0It would have been shameful to be ungrateful. \u00a0Now, as I reflect back, I am in awe of how amazing they were!<\/p>\n

There is a gift giver to all of us.\u00a0\u00a0The gift giver and the gift carry equal value for all of us. \u201cFor God so loved\u00a0the world that he gave\u00a0his one and only Son,\u00a0that whoever believes\u00a0in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u00a017\u00a0For God did not send his Son into the world\u00a0to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.<\/i>\u201d (John 3:16-17<\/b>)\u00a0 God gave us Jesus, His very best to bless us beyond any other blessing.\u00a0 God gave Himself.\u00a0\u00a0He gave us Jesus who in His unlimited mind gazed into the eyes of all persons ever born.\u00a0 Overflowing with love for us He said to the Father \u201cI will do it.\u201d\u00a0 I pray that all who read this will with fullness of gratitude accept the gift of God and receive blessed eternal life with Him that He gave to us through Jesus.\u00a0 We accept gifts from each other, why would we shove away the precious gift of God?\u00a0\u00a0Why would we refuse what He has paid so heavily to give.\u00a0 God bless everyone!\u00a0 He does you know.\u00a0\u00a0May you all know and walk in the endless love He has for us.\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n

Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Numbers 6:24-26<\/b>\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
