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!
