Certainly there are many things I want.  Material things, intangible things, impossible things.  But I’ve already received the greatest gifts I could ever imagine.  My husband, my children, my loving friends and extended family.  God has richly blessed me and for that I am eternally grateful.

And I’m most grateful to Him for the gift He gave us so many years ago.  There would be no Christmas without the birth of Christ.  It’s something I have a tendency to forget because of the hectic nature of the season.  I hope that today I can remember why we’re celebrating.  There will be the craziness of preparing a special dinner, opening gifts, and then more gifts tomorrow morning and 2 more big meals.  But somewhere in there, I plan to sit down with my kids and remind them of why we do this.  The ultimate gift has been given to us in the form of a Savior.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
