best paper according to my professor...
hahah really..
you judge...
“What is your favorite holiday?” Martha asked her youngest grandchild. “Twithmath!”. The child gleefully replied. It made the old woman smile broadly; she than asked Jill why she loved Christmas. This time the child’s eyebrows furrowed in thought, “becauth you love me gramma”. And with that Martha’s eyes filled with tears.
For most of us Christmas is a time for giving and receiving gifts. Most say it is a time to give, but to give what? Houses, cars, clothes, toys, food or money? Would that always be enough? No, the most remarkable thing that we could give is not a thing at all. It’s the love you give, not holding back, giving wholeheartedly not minding the costs. It’s what you could learn from Martha and Jill. Jill is not just happy for the food, the toys nor the attention but the culmination of Martha’s love for her all year long.
The “something” that drives Martha to do things for her grandchild is not what she could get in return; but the love she has for the child. Unconditional love that never changes, even if Jill is a bad girl at times still Martha loves her just the same.
Like Martha and Jill we could all give that unconditional love to others, it will not be easy but it will be the greatest gift we could give. Just like how Christ died to save us, because of His unconditional love. Who are you then to limit the love you could give?
