Advent Day 4 | From Gift to Gift with Amanda

Basically Basic

Hi BB’s! Amanda here. I’m so excited to share today’s Advent Episode 4, From Gift to Gift. I kept thinking about the saying ‘From Glory to Glory’ and how God giving the ultimate gift of Jesus, His son, to us — is like the gift that keeps on giving. It truly is from one gift to the next. Growing up in church, I heard the Christmas story quite often… but if I’m honest there were years where I just pictured cute Baby Jesus in a manger with all the sweet little animals around him in the barn, and then just like that... I was ready to receive my own gifts under the tree. This year I want to meditate on the story of what God truly gave us in the GIFT of Jesus. He gave us Jesus, THE gift - which has trickled down into my own life - a gift in itself. My marriage, a gift. My children, a gift. My health, a gift. This podcast, a gift. The phone I’m typing this on, a gift. It began “away in a manger” and the life of “the little Lord Jesus” is still being gifted to us today. @amandamarielackey's coffee of the day: Grande Americano with 1 pump peppermint, one pump mocha and a splash of almond milk Today's Scipture: Ephesians 2:8 John 3:16 2 Corinthians 9:15 Romans 6:23 Romans 11:29
