I can't sleep as I am still stuffed from our Noche Buena here at my in-laws' house. Hubby and the kids are fast asleep already so I thought I'd share a touching Christmas moment we had earlier.
After our bedtime prayers with Tim and Rysse (though she was asleep already beside us, hehe), we asked one another, especially Tim, what gift we had for Baby Jesus' birthday.
Papa: What is your gift for Jesus, Kuya Tim?
Tim: What's our gift po Mama?
Mama: Let's give Jesus our hearts.
Tim: No, no, Mama. We shouldn't give Jesus our hearts.
(Pause. I expect him to say something silly. What he says takes us by surprise...)
Tim: Our gift to Jesus is us - me, Papa, you and Baba G (pointing to his sleeping baby sister.)
(Mama and Papa hug Tim and tell him how right his answer is.)
What a timely reminder from one of God's little angels!
That CHRISTmas is not just about the gifts we give to each other or receive from others, but about what we can and should give to CHRIST. After all, He is the Reason for this season! :)
How about YOU? What is your gift to Jesus? :)
Let's take our cue from Santa and pay homage to the King of Kings, not just this CHRISTmas but always.
A HAPPY AND HOLY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! :)
