"When Jesus was born, gifts of gold, frankincense & mrrh where given to him. The tradition of giving gifts on Jesus' birthday continues today. What special gift do you wish you could give to Jesus this year and why?"
THE GIFT OF TIME
Time is the most important gift of all.
How much time do you spend with God? There is a special saying, "If we spend time doing other things first, we will never find time to spend with God. If we spend time with God first, there will always be time for other things." I have this saying on my night table, next to my bed. Every night I remember this saying and think of the time I spend with God.
If I had the chance to meet God and give him a special gift for his birthday, I would give him the gift of time. I feel that this is important because not many people take enough time aside from what they are doing to spend time with God. Many people don't go to Mass or even take time to pray to him. If I gave God this gift, people would have more time to spend with God. I could spend more time praying, going to church and acting more like Jesus.
Next time you are frustrated, bored or are just alone, take some time, maybe ten minutes, and pray to God. It doesn't hurt. God is there to help us along, through good times and bad. He'll help us. My relationship with god is so special to me. I just want everyone to have as good a relationship as I do with God.
People take our religion for granted. I don't think that people realize what an important thing Jesus did for us. He died to save us from original sin. He died for us. I think that when people live their lives running around to different activities that their families might have, they don't take enough time to appreciate all that Jesus did for us.
"Jesus,
I love you. For your birthday this year, I would like to give you the gift of time. Not many people take time to pray to you or even go to mass. We need you, each and every one of us. Although people have the choice to spend time with you, I just wish that with this gift you could give more people the time to appreciate everything that you have done for us. With this gift, you can give people time to pray to you, and the time to go to Mass. The world would be a better place. With this gift help people.
I love you, Jesus,
