A Christmas Gift

Christmas is a time of remembrance. It is a time to remember our family members and friends and our relationship to them. On Christmas day, to remember the God who gave His son to us. To remember the many gifts that others have given us during the year. Gifts, of love and understanding when no one else would give us the time of day. To remember that there is more to us than just flesh and blood. Being able to express the fact that we are all one of God’s children. Yes, this is a time of remembrance.

A time when we search for that special gift that says “I love you”. That special gift, that shows our family and friends just how much we really appreciate them.

What is it about Christmas that brings out the best in all of us? It is a spiritual experience we express through special decorations, parties, music and song. Christmas is a time for snow, colored lights, tinsel, the Christmas tree, and the joy of falling in love all over again with that special woman or man in your life. To take a nighttime romantic slay ride through the snow in winter. Hearing the jingle of slay bells, the clip clop of a horses feet upon the snow as we sing that special song to one another. Slay bell ring, are you listening… (sing it with me)

We express our love at this special time in so many ways, and yet, we can never really show others just how much our family and friends really mean to us. We try in the best way we know how, but you know, it is the little things that make the difference. Remember, Christmas is just what the doctor ordered for you and me.
