A Christmas Welcome

A family was experiencing hard times one Christmas. The father was out of work and the mother had a low-paying job. But they were determined to have a happy Christmas, so that was what they did. They got out all their usual decorations and even managed to scrape together enough to purchase a few small gifts. The day after Christmas, father went job hunting, mother returned to work and the children were left to clean up the house. As one daughter was sorting the leftover wrapping paper and ribbons, she found an envelope addressed to her father. He opened it when he came home that night and found a generous check inside. Somehow it had been lost in the Christmas wrappings. Don’t let the best gift get lost in all the “wrappings” this year: A Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord!
