On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. – Matthew 2:11
We bring you our gold
our achievements
our prosperity
our productivity
We bring you our frankincense
our traditions
our rituals
our urging
We bring you our myrrh
our brokenness
our grave clothes
our dust
You bring us you
Priceless
Transcendent
Eternal
Humble
Present
Vulnerable
Grace greater than our every gift
