Christmas Greetings!

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. One of the things I love about Christmas is that it provides an opportunity to give. We can give our time, our attention our friendship or gifts. However, we mustn’t feel obliged to come bearing gifts. Sometimes we compel ourselves to live up to expectations that we have no heart for. If you have a heart for giving then give. Give graciously, willingly and lovingly. Give with the intention to be a blessing. Give expecting nothing in return. Let those who have the gift of giving be joyful. Share their joy. Show gratitude when you receive a gift but don’t feel obliged to give a gift in return. Appreciate the gift and the heart of the giver. Be grateful that you have people in your life who care for you and want to show it through a gift. This season reminds us that we have so much to be grateful for. Enjoy! Celebrate!
