The most popular gift in 1975 was the Sony Betamax Player. $2,300 Mood-ring...20 million were sold. Pet Rock -- It was a rock -- Sold 1.3 million of them In 1981 the most popular gift was the Rubiks Cube -- 1983 -- Cabbage Patch doll A lot of people miss the reason for the season! Galatians 4:4-6 New Living Translation (NLT) 4 But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. 5 God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.[a] 6 And because we[b] are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father."[c] I look back on my life and consider the greatest gifts I have ever received. A few of them were things that can be held or touched with my hands. Most of them were interactions, relationships and conversations. Society has a way of telling people if you buy this or that then you will be happy. If you eat this food or drive this car you will be happy and find fulfillment. May I offer an alternative? The Greatest Gift you can give to other people is you! A "you" that is more focused on the needs of other people than your own needs being met; a "you" that gives with no expectation of something in return; a "you" that looks out for other people before you lookout for yourself. You can be a gift that people will remember for a lifetime.
