All Christmas Shopping Done at Kwik Trip There was a sitcom a number of years ago that portrayed the main characters as bad, lowReach Pastor Schultz effort Christmas shoppers. They at dschultz@llhs.org bought all of their Christmas presents at the gas station convenience store. They gave their friends wiper blades, new-car-smell spray, and soda—whatever they could find at the gas station. I wish I could do that! Isn’t that the challenge of Christmas shopping? You’re supposed to find something that fits someone’s personality. Your challenge is to find a gift that is the perfect combination of what someone needs and what someone wants.

like those TV characters, buying your relative a snow brush and a pair of sunglasses at Kwik Trip on the way to the Christmas party. I think those TV characters were on to something. As you shop, remember that God has already given to you and to your loved ones The Gift that is the perfect combination of what you need and what you want. We need a Savior from sin. We want love, joy and hope. Jesus, given as The Gift at Christmas, is the perfect combination of what we need and what we want. He is the best, most expensive gift ever given. And he’s been given to you. God bless your Christmas shopping, whether you are a high-effort or low-effort shopper. And rejoice that God has given you his Son to be your Savior: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15) ❧DS
