A Poem - The Grace of Giving

The Grace of Giving

Watch the child with the gift
She wrapped with her own hands.
See her glow.
Tissue paper, ribbon, bow,
Conceal the treasure
precious hand-made treasure.
Lovingly
Painstakingly
(Perhaps messilly)
Exuberantly given.
Handmade treasure
Given in anticipation
Of her mother's joy.

Grace is in the giving
From the heart
Filled with love.

Look now ...
See the child who is the gift.
He's wrapped in swaddling bands
Angel glow,
Shepherds marvel as they go
Reveal the treasure.
Precious heavenly treasure!
Lovingly
Painstakingly
(Perhaps messily)
Exuberantly given.
Heavenly treasure
Given in anticipation
Of His own joy
In our salvation.

Grace is in the giving
From the heart
Filled with love.
