Guest guest Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 The Wise Men's Christmas Gifts To You By Ponder http://www.ds-churchoftoday.org/articles/article/1709352/20837.htm If I could have a holiday visit with you in my desert home, you would probably be amused to find beautiful hand carved figures of the Wise Men on hand in the various rooms. Most of them have been collected on quick vacation trips to Mexico over the years. And they are a part of the year round decoration. Why? Because they symbolize the prosperity theme of the Christmas Story. Having them on hand year round reminds me often that the gold, frankincense, and myrrh of the Wise Men are bountiful gifts to you and to me, too, just as they were to the Christ Child on that first Christmas. As this Christmas Season approaches, allow me to share with you the Wise Men's Christmas gifts of old: Gold symbolized the gift of abundance. " I bless you with abundance and plenty at this season. You have plenty to spare and to share, and you share It joyously. Your giving enriches you and your world. " incense symbolizes the gift of pleasantness. " I bless you with the gift Of pleasantness and joy In your every thought, word, and act. May pleasantness and joy enhance and enrich your life at this holy season. " Myrrh symbolizes the gift of healing of all unhappiness and bitterness of the past or present. " I bless you with healing of all unhappiness or bitterness of the past or present. God Is turning all of your experiences to good! " Ponder ====== And I bless you all with love during this season of joy and plenty.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Dearest , Ooh! Another very special message that gave me goosebumps! Thanks so much for sharing this one with us! Yes, I know I'm almost a month behind on my emails. But, since I wasn't home for Christmas or for New Year's, I am enjoying catching up on the special holidays I missed last month! Have a great weekend and great week ahead!
