Best Christmas gift is forgiveness

Christmas is not about “Jingle Bells,” it is about the joy in your heart that comes from being forgiven. The best gift anybody can ever receive is the gift of forgiveness. The material gifts and winter songs are only icing on the cake.

As all of us celebrate Christmas this year, may we all remember the best gift is forgiveness. It is free and something no material gift can match.
