Really appreciate the reframe from sentimental to strategic. The distinction between presence vs performance is spot on, especially when the holiday noise can make evangelism feel like another task to check off. Turning everyday moments into gospel oppurtunities without forcing it is the kind of approach that actually works.

Superb thought: "It is all about presence". An offering must be brought by those owning a passionate and sincere heart. Matthew 2:2 states that the wise men had “come to worship him”. They opened their treasures and presented him with gifts [korban] of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Perhaps the incense (oils) were placed inside of a "golden vessel" whose use was restricted to the Holy of Holies. The magi knew they were in the very presence of Adonai.
