We have a gracious God. We have spent weeks preparing for the most special child ever born. He is a Light for all people and that means that we get to partner with Paul and Barnabas in sharing that light with anyone and everyone. And we get to offer up treasures of our time and talents and money like the wise men did because we, too, have seen the light of the world who has brought salvation to us.

Amen
