Well, there’s no question these guys were wise (but, of course, not actually Wise guys) so let’s look at the gifts they brought the King. You may want to consider some of these for your loved ones.
Gold
When it comes to some of my favorite gifts for Christmas over the years, I have to admit that gold (jewelry) is especially high up on the list. Jewelry for me has such important symbolic and sentimental value. My miraculous medal and crucifix are especially important to me (don’t leave home without them!), but other pieces remind me of the giver or the occasion on which I received them. Wearing my grandmother’s wedding ring (from 1906) for my wedding or my other grandmother’s engagement ring makes me feel connected to these beautiful souls now in heaven. I know a lot of people enjoy simply decorative pieces (which of course have their place), but for me the meaning behind the jewelry is the most significant. The gift of gold is enduring…as are the gifts of God.
Frankincense
I only recently understood what frankincense actually is and its amazing value. Having experienced it first hand I can see why the Wise Men brought this gift to Jesus. Frankincense essential oil is known as the King of Oils for good reason. Scientific studies indicate that frankincense has anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, and anti-cancer properties. It helps with wound healing and wrinkles, scars and stretch marks and is helpful for immunity and cellular health.
After a particularly stressful event recently my jaw locked up in a painful spasm. One drop of frankincense oil under my tongue relieved it immediately. I knew the power of frankincense but, even I, was completely amazed.
But all frankincense is not created equal. doTerra’s frankincense is the most pure therapeutic grade available, suitable for aromatic, topical, and internal use. Contact us to learn more and how you can get a free frankincense during the month of December.
