Happy Holidays!
I am still in the process of wrapping up and thinking of gifts. Even though my gifts come from the depth of my heart, out of love, with the best intentions and are focused on everyone's wants and needs, I can't help but feel ashamed. Looking at the colorful wrapped presents under the ornate tree, the gifts seem so meager, almost futile and I want to give more, and more, and more...
These presents are nothing compared to what God gave and is constantly giving us. An amazing expression of love! It's so much better to give, than to receive. That's where the real happiness is. That's the person I want to and will be, someone who looks back with a smile, instead of regrets. And I have the best of all help to do so. :-)
Have a wonderful Merry Christmas and a very blessed and Happy New Year, dear friends! :-)
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Jel,
May you and yours have a very blessed one as well.
Let's go for being that person. We can do it, through Christ who strengthens us. And...we can be an encouragement to eachother as well:-)
Hugs and love to you, dear sister.
God's Grace.
I hope you, Kc and your family have a very blessed and Merry Christmas...and a really Happy New Year too!
It's definitely so much better to give than to receive. I love being able to pick something special and that which 'fits' the person to a T. I have all I truly need and His precious gift is the most amazing of all!
To live life with a smile and no regrets...yeah, that's something I want to be able to do.
Blessings, love and prayers to you and yours as we enter into this precious season!

Cinder,

Much love and many hugs!

Blessings to you and yours this Christmas Season ...
and isn't it true, that it's not so much the material gifts - as the gift of ourselves to others ... that is what Christ gave - Himself ... :o)
so even though you are far away from family members - isn't it wonderful that there is the phone, or webcams, that you can still give your cheerful voice & smiling face to the ones who want to hear you and see you!
Saija,
Many blessings to you as well!
And yes, it's wonderful how God provides in everything! :-)
God's Grace.
