What is your greatest gift?

Yesterday my granddaughter was looking at all the diplomas in my home offices.  These were her father's diplomas, and her aunt's diplomas and her grandmother's diplomas and other various awards that we have saved over the years.  At the very top was one lone diploma that belonged to her Tata, and she asked me why there weren't more awards for me.  I thought of the many answers that I could have said to her, but the first one that came to mind was the greatest award that anyone man could have, and that was being a son of God.  


I explained to her that the day when I accepted Jesus into my heart was one of the most wonderful days in my life.  He changed my life for the better and there is nothing that He would not do for me nor I for Him.  I also reminded her that all of my family, her Nana, and all her aunts and uncles and cousins were a blessing to me and to her.  I also told her that when God gave me my little granddaughter, and my two grandsons, he gave me the best award ever.  But he also told me that I would need to take care of these beautiful gifts and teach them all to love Jesus as Jesus loves us.


Thank you for these gifts.  Thank you Jesus.
