The Greater than Greatest Gift

Merry Christmas, friends! I hope your day is filled with waves of joy. Whether they be large or small, don’t miss them.

This blog post is not so much an update, but rather a thought that I want to capture and share in the moment.

It is easy to find a ‘Yay!’ on Christmas Day. After all, it is the season of celebration. And for those that are Christian, the greatest celebration of all. The birth of our savior, Jesus Christ, the greatest gift of all. The creator of the universe, God, giving his only son to save the world. Without a doubt, the greatest gift humanity could receive.

Our family is a ski family. Over the years, we have given our children and each other equipment, clothing, passes and other ski-related gifts. These were great gifts. But what we’ve ultimately given is a lifestyle that we can share, our happy place where we make memories and see dreams become reality. The ski gifts were only the means to the greater gift.

This Christmas, look beyond the gift in the manger toward the ultimate reason God gave us Jesus—the promise of a life free from illness, pain, struggle, stress. An eternal life, timeless and beautiful. This, my friends, is the greater than greatest gift.
