I remember an old story of a pastor who was visiting some of his church members. And he took his young daughter with him. As they visited an elderly couple, the couple gave her a handful of peanuts. Expecting her to show a spirit of gratitude, the father asked his daughter, "Honey, what are you supposed to say?" Sincerely, and with her eyes fixed upon the couple, she asked, "You got any more?"

I hope that is not our response to the great season of Christmas. All the gifts are now open. Some of us may being thinking about the things we wanted but didn't get. If we will allow it, God's greatest gift of Jesus Christ will satisfy all our wants and needs!
