The Perfect Gift

Posted on February 12, 2018 by Shirlee Abbott

 

 

Valentine’s Day is coming. What’s your favorite gift?

 

  • Candy
  • Flowers
  • Dinner at an expensive restaurant

This year, February 14 is also the beginning of Lent. That’s the time of preparation before Easter. Traditionally, Christians give up something.

This year, why not give your Beloved what he really wants:

John 14:15 (NIV)
If you love me, keep my commands.

Obedience . . . the perfect gift. Exactly what our Beloved Christ deserves.

    Somehow this reminds me of my Rottweiler, Survivour. When I tap my left leg with my hand, he immediately runs to my side, sits, and looks up with the happiest of expressions, because doing what he’s asked is his highest priority.

    As opposed to Rufus the Jack Russell, who can be found by following my voice…”Rufus? RUFUS? RUFUS!!!…Aw, crap.”

    But I love them both the same.

      Would that we all obeyed with Survivour’s joy. There’s too much Jack Russel in me! Thank you, Andrew, for my morning smile.
