Little Drummer Boy
Why it makes the list: Like the little drummer boy, we often find ourselves with no gift fit to lay before Jesus. We come before God empty-handed, and, in light of this, we may feel embarrassed or unworthy.
But God does not see us as unworthy. He sees this as an opportunity to fill us - in the words of St. Augustine of Hippo, "God gives where He finds empty hands." (Our hands should be empty!)
And, in fact, we each do have a gift to bring - and that gift is the talents and love God has given to us that we, in turn, are called to now share with others.
And you thought I liked this song because it has the word "rum" in it, didn't you? Hmm...
