Summary

Happy holidays! Giving and receiving gifts around the holidays should bring us joy and build anticipation. And yet, we often become stressed or overwhelmed when it comes to giving and receiving gifts. In this episode, Shelby and Krystal discuss how we can have a gospel perspective even in something like exchanging gifts. When we consider our responses to others in both giving and receiving gifts, we have an opportunity to display the generosity of God and His grace toward others. We hope this episode helps us all to reframe our thinking around how we exchange gifts this Christmas.

0:30.7	Welcome to Daily Grace. We believe the Bible is true, trustworthy, and timeless,
0:36.9	and we want to help women like you know and love God's Word. The Bible shows us who God is and who

1:02.0	wonderful co-host Shelby. Hello everyone, super glad to be back for another episode with you.
1:07.1	Yeah and today's a fun one because we're going to be talking about how the gospel informs
1:11.4	our gift giving and gift receiving. And we were talking about this a little bit earlier, Shelby.
1:16.4	We didn't realize how in depth of a topic this was going to be until we really started to unpack it.
1:22.1	So I'm super excited for us to have this conversation. But first, we need to talk about favorite things.

1:39.9	some things that are on our wish list for the holiday season that we hope to be a favorite thing
1:45.2	that we will eventually love and eventually use? So Shelby, what is on your list?
1:50.4	Okay, one thing on my Christmas wish list is a heatless curling headband. I don't know if you've
1:59.1	heard of these, but a while back there was kind of this viral thing where you would sleep with like
2:05.6	your hair twisted around a tube sock. And then when you woke up in the morning, your hair was
