I'll spend some time pondering.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583128985329413951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012612012300860971.post-10549106552925356522008-12-14T20:41:00.000-05:002008-12-14T20:41:00.000-05:00I love the one about giving gifts.

Blessing others is a way that Christ's love flows out of us. When I'm not in a "gift giving" mood, or think it just a "have to" or find myself thinking of reasons not to give gifts (they already have so much, they don't really need it, it's not really worth much, etc) then I'm missing the point. Giving to others is an act of love and I pray that comes out of an overflow of Christ's work in me.<BR/>Good reminder as I finish my last Christmas shopping and start the wrapping...I think I'll pray for each one as I wrap their gift.thehirschganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245306269825464150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012612012300860971.post-27930714106445983062008-12-14T19:00:00.000-05:002008-12-14T19:00:00.000-05:00Congrats my friend!

Congratulations & many blessings on your wonderful<BR/>reasons that you LOVE Christmas!<BR/><BR/>I love each one but the one that impresses me the most is:"Christ came to share His Fathers love to us, so Christmas reminds me that I too need to share the love of my Father to those around me - including "the least of these"."<BR/><BR/>This truly is the Love that God has placed in you & His sweet Spirit alive through you!
