give of my gifts. Instead of a wrapped gift purchased in a store, think about the true gifts you can give the ones you love.
Sometimes, we use presents as a way of making up for what is lacking in our relationships. Grand gestures at Christmas are nice, but what will bring true joy is the gift of you! What do the people you love really need from you? A new gadget or more of your compassion? A great book or for you to listen to them? A fancy watch or more of your time? Think about the things that you really should give more to others and make that your Christmas present this year. Giving the best of you is the best present you can offer anyone you love. So unwrap your talents, skills, compassion, understanding, humor and tenderness this Christmas and give it away joyfully!
So, for today I will give of my gifts. What I can offer can't be found in stores. I have my own unique, one-of-a-kind gifts that need to be shared with the people I love. This Christmas I will unwrap me!
About Me
- Living blessed for today...
- I am just an average girl who has had a life of ups and downs, just like many of you. I am married with two children and work full-time, part-time and volunteer. I love my family and I love God. The one thing I know to be true is that life is better when you take it one day at a time. How do I know? Because I've tried the other choices. I've tried to choke the world into submission by trying to control everything everyday. I've had high paying jobs that zapped all my time and energy leaving nothing for my family or myself. I've worried myself to sickness over the "what if's" of the future. But then I gave up. I surrendered and decide to let go and let God. Now I take each new day as a new chance to in any small way make a positive impact on the ones I love - which has extended to anyone reading this blog. I pray that by reading this blog and focusing on one day at a time - one simple task or challenge at a time - I can help you deal with the burdens of life and bring you closer to the one who is really taking care of you, God. I hope you will find motivation, inspiration, peace, or even just a smile when you visit this blog. Be blessed.
