Krista looked at the calendar hanging near her and thought for a moment. She knew that a very special event was coming soon. It was her best friend Dana's birthday.
But this one was a little more special than normal. The two friends grew up together. But this would be the first time that they have been apart since Dana left for college.
Krista could not think of anything that would tell her friend how much she means to her. She went through the hours of each day praying and asking God for guidance.
Krista looked forward to her pals letter each month. She thought maybe it would spark some ideas. But when Dana's letter didn't come for the first time, she became frightened.
Krista immediately called her friend. She was worried when she found out she was quite ill. She quickly made arrangements to go and be with her.
While she was the there, she cooked and cleaned her apartment for her. She also went to monitor her classes and take notes.
As she watched Dana slowly get better, she breathed a sigh of relief. But she noticed the date when she looked at the calendar.
Krista bowed her head. She told her dear friend with a tear in her eye that she sorry she didn't get her something for her birthday.
Dana just looked at her. She smiled brightly. "Don't you know that you gave me the greatest gift of all?" She said.
"You gave me the gift of hope. That is the greatest gift of all!' Krista thought about all of the beautiful gifts from the Bible from God's precious heart.
She gave Dana a Bible and led her to the Lord. Krista had found the perfect gift. Another soul accepted Jesus. His love shines even more!
