Were the Christmas gifts given and received in your life all you hoped for? Sometimes earthly gift leave us feeling surprisingly … disappointed. Not so with #UncommonGifts. The best gifts are uncommon, given out of sacrifice for the love of giving. They outweigh the love of self, loving both to be given and received.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” (James 1:17)
The Do Not Depart team prays that you have been encouraged by this month of celebrating our Savior and reflecting on the uncommon gifts we each have to offer Him. As we peer into the dawn of a new year, let’s give Jesus our best. Our #UncommonGifts.

I’m going to go out on a limb.
My wife has finally realized that I am NOT a victim of “middle-age spread’, and she bought me briefs that FIT.
In this case, too large is definitely not the way to go. Guys will understand, and so might women, if it’s translated to…oh, never mind.
OK, enjoy the immoderate laughter. I suspect God is laughing, too.
