God has given us Himself in Christ. As Christians, we are called to offer ourselves. We are to be a gift to God and a gift for others.

We are catching into this spirit of giving at Christmas - the world says it’s the season of giving. • And it means of buying too, because without buying there won’t be any giving. • You see that all around you.
