Myrrh: Worst Baby Gift Eva

The song "Do You Hear What I Hear" sings:

"A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold"

Soo...

Baby Jesus is shivering in the night. And...the Three Kings bring him Frankincense, Gold & Myrrh.

Could you imagine what Mary was thinking?!?!

I Just gave birth...
in a Barn..
Surrounded by goats, sheep...

We are COLD.

and you bring me...
Frankincense
Gold
Myrrh?!?

Why not a Blanket?!? Pillow?!?Coal to heat us?! A Toy for the baby?

The modern day Mary would say: "Why Register if no one buys you stuff off the Registry anyways!"

;)

Today, imagine what it must have been like on that night in Jerusalem.
Now imagine a baby was born today & people brought Frankincense, Gold, & Myrrh to the baby's shower!

Wouldn't the mother be completely confused?!

Now think of the most important gift or wish a baby can be given?
Hope...
Love...
Faith...

& think of the last time you gave this gift to yourself?!

To others?!

This Holiday Season is about Giving :)))
