Treasures

And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:11 NKJV)

Day 21 of 25 Days of Christmas.  Blessed that our coaches and athletic staff gave gifts to all the children living in the Royston Housing Authority again this year. We give gifts at Christmas because the wise men gave gifts to Jesus. What gift can we give him this Christmas?

Pray today for the people of Emmanuel College to open the treasury of their hearts, minds, and souls to present gifts - talents, time, and treasures invested in students and others for the glory of God.

As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold;
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright,
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee.

So may we with holy joy, 
Pure and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ to Thee our heavenly King.
(As with Gladness Men of Old, vs. 1, 2)
