Livin' on Leftovers

Leftovers - whether
you love them or throw them away - they are a part of our daily lives! 
The same is true for Christmas.  Our culture would have us believe
everything is done and over with once December 25th passes
and all the presents are opened.  But after all the rush of December,
there are Christmas leftovers... What are they?

What
remains after Christmas Day?  As Christians we need to realize
there are some significant gifts which remain with us and the most important
one is the baby who will grow to be our Savior.  Will we lose Him
as we throw away the wrappings and bows?  Will He be boxed away
with all the decorations?  Will he be relegated to the back, lower
shelf of the refrigerator until some future day?

This weekend as we look
to the wise men and their gifts - the late-comers to the Christmas
party - we will see the magnificence of the gifts left for us even
after Christmas is "over"
