What's In a Gift?

This past weekend I went to my first-ever cookie exchange. I've celebrated enough Christmases to wonder why I've never done this before. It was fun.
Apart from the unbelievable assortment of interesting, creative and great tasting cookies ... which we got to eat and take home ... there was also that wonderful spirit in the room that comes with the act of sharing. 
The cookies provided the opportunity to join together and celebrate each other and what we, literally, bring to the table. 
This gift of communion tasted heavenly.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
