Have you ever had a moment when the most unusual thing falls into your lap and it is the perfect fit to what you were looking for?  That's what happened to us in July.

While my husband was searching for information on myrrh he ran across a business for sale on eBay.  Yes - eBay.  It was unique and he just had to share his find with me.   We were viewing the page offering a business that sold Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.  Strangely enough, it was a calm, no fear, without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt hooked.  God had graciously provided us with a product that we believed in and that would help to satisfy the need to serve Him more fully.  So after a Culver's frozen custard with the family, the bid was placed...the offer accepted...the journey began.  It has been a most rewarding trip.  We have encountered people from all over the world.  Each has given us a different perspective on the meaning and practice of faith.  They have also be generous with ideas on how to make the Original Christmas Gift succeed.  We owe so many of you many thanks.   We believe we have gathered some of the best products for you from other companies and our own work, from the reaches of the ends of the Silk Road to the lands of the African Magi King, from the Holy Land to the length of our own country.

God calls each of us by name.  Sometimes we find Him in nature, or the innocence of a child.  Sometimes He he speaks to us through strangers; and, in our case, he used the internet to deliver a most unusual ministry.  With each item we offer it is our prayer that you will find God in a new and exciting way.  Now I am asking for a favor.  If you have a comment, question, concern, suggestion, or information that you would like to share please do so.  We truly want to make the Original Christmas Gift worthy of the King, and would love your input!

May God Bless You and Keep You!
