A Day to Think of Gifts

The Wise Men followed the star
to pay homage to the new-born king
with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Lord we pay you homage as the Saviour of the world.
What gifts do we bring?

Perhaps by sharing with needy children of the world,
those who struggle just to stay alive,
perhaps that would please you best.
Perhaps then our expensive gifts to friends
at home would be more acceptable.
Lord, help us today to think your way!
