Travel back in time to one of your childhood Christmas mornings. This time, view the presents under the tree with spiritual eyes and relish each present as we open Twelve Gifts of Christmas From Our Heavenly Father.
Stanley Holstein has received many precious gifts during his life. Regarding the most important ones, he observes: -Before I was born, God knew every sin I would commit. Yet he gave me life and then offered me the gift of salvation.-Knowing I would reject his love for decades, Jesus still came to earth to die for my sins.-As I rebelled against God, he placed many Christians in my path to point me toward the Savior, Jesus Christ.-I was given a beautiful family; my wife, Susie, and three lovely children; Shane, Hannah, and Isaiah.-When I repented of my sins, God willingly forgave me.-God truly is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Why would God be so gracious to a sinner like me? Because my Heavenly Father loves me.
