Advent Devotion - Thankful for a Gift beyond Measure (Day 5)

Each week I participate in Thankful Thursday, a meme that has brought me great blessings, as I have found that the very act of being thankful to God is a gift to me. This holiday week provided so many opportunities for a grateful heart... good and plentiful food, time with family, for laughter and a snowball fight. And yet with Christmas approaching I am reminded of the greatest gift of all.

Thanks be to God for His unspeakable Gift--
indescribable
inestimable
incomparable
inexpressible
precious beyond words.
--Lois Lebar

The Gift given us by God in the form of Christ is so awesome and so amazing that I share the poet's difficulty... no words can begin to express my gratitude for such wondrous love.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
– John 3:16
