My eyes have been open

About a month ago my 1 st. son-in-law, mentioned to me about us not doing Christmas with presents, he has been asking me to do this for years. He said you can't afford it and so on. And with circumstances with others in the family without work it was a decision that I made. After I made it I felt sad. Cause I know the grandkids like it. And to be honest I love to give. Well I made the decision not to have presents. I felt like a 1000 pounds had been lifted off my shoulders. And in the years I have seen where people make it about the presents, not about the heart or anything else. And they can't just get one they need tons. And I like giving my family as much as I can. But to tell the truth I have never been so free of something in all my life. And my eyes have been opened up so much. To things like trying to out give the giver. And see how much we can get. I have seen so much of this, this year. After all it is not about me or others of this world. It is ab out
Jesus Christ the one who died for us. And that is what it is about and getting together as a family and loving and caring for one another. Think of it this way not everyone gets a present on your birthday. It is Jesus birthday that the world is to celebrate not ours. I love the Lord with all my heart. And I love my family words can't describe how much I love them. Well God Bless to everyone and have a Merry Christmas. And remember tell someone you love them and give them a smile that you have not ever spoken to.
