Giving

I started a post almost a month ago, but never posted it. Now it is a little dated, so I will start fresh.

The holidays are almost over with and I must admit that I'm a little relieved. I love the season of giving and getting together with family, but it has been a trying season this year. Without boring you with any details, lets just say I'm looking forward to the new year.

The blessings of this holiday season have been my five grandchildren. They truly light up my heart when I see them. Watching them open their gifts and playing with them take me back to a time when my own children were young. Back then, we didn't have the finances to give them as much as we wanted too; but, they never complained. Now with this new generation, I can give without worrying about where the next dollar will come from, which is a wonderful feeling as I love giving.

Giving is what the season is all about. Not the monetary value of things, but the thought behind the gift. God sent His only son, Jesus, to be born at Christmas. He gave us the most important and wonderful gift of all. He is the reason we have the gift of life through accepting His only son, Jesus, as our Lord and Savior.

Thank you God for giving us your Son. He is truly the most wonderful blessing of all.
