You know that warm, secure feeling you get when you realize that someone has been looking for you and they have never stopped until they actually found you? Well, that is what God did through His Son Jesus a little more than 2000 years ago. Emmanuel means God with us and He wanted to be with us.

Belong. That is a word we all love. We want to belong somewhere to somebody. One of the gifts of Christmas is that we can belong to God. He came down to live with us some 2000 years ago and create a family relationship...and guess what, you've been adopted by God. He wants YOU to be in HIS family.

Reconciled. We all want peace and calm and acceptance. This season, we all can experience that through Jesus Christ and the incredible gift of his birth! That's a gift God offers you. But what about you reconciling your life with your relationships. That is a gift that you could offer those in your life.

It's irritating when someone gets the spot I've been waiting on OR the line at the coffee shop is too long because someone doesn't know skinny from tall OR the last toy is purchased and it's the one you'd been looking for all year. Then there is Grace. Every. Single. One. of us need it! That's a gift that won't cost you much this Christmas.

The Gift of Expectation. We have expectations during the holidays. But what if our usual searches for hidden treasures were different this year? What if our expectations were around a savior, promised by God and given freely to us? Luke 2 reveals the greatest treasure hunt in history.

Gratefulness...deep down, that is what we all should have for our friends, family, material possessions, and the incredible gift God gave us in His Son, Jesus Christ.
