When I think of giving a gift to someone for Christmas, many things run through my mind, especially if I know the person quite well. A little extra thought and preparation means that my gift will be received with love and appreciation. A gift doesn't have to be expensive, nor does it have to be from a fancy store.
I received a Christmas card in the mail yesterday. It was from a very dear friend. I was very touched that she thought me, and that she took the time to find the perfect card, for me. As you can see, there is a beautiful young lady in a white sparkly dress holding a gift. This young lady has her wings. The fact that my friend chose this card, tells me that she is understanding of what my thoughts and the feelings in my heart are. The gift that she gives to me is Love...
I see love in the eyes of Mary and Joseph, as they cradle the Christ Child in their arms. I see love in Jesus Christ's eyes as he looks upon all of us. I hope that the people you care about can see, pure, unconditional, love, in your eyes this season.
Love is the perfect gift!
What a lovely angel card, your right it is perfect for you. Your friend must be an angel too.
ReplyDeleteYour eyes always sparkle with love Cindy, you can feel your spirit through them always.
Cute Hanna stopped in, she said you two were finishing up a purse so she could go out of state for Christmas, soooo cute of her.
It's nice your close with your grandchildren, Hanna sure loves you.
Hi Cindy:
ReplyDeleteLove your holiday blog look. It's so pretty! I'll be back to visit again soon.

Donna
Oh, I agree and we all need it don't we...pure, unconditional love. We get this from our Savior constantly and he said love others as he loves us. (that is such a beautiful card too) Enjoy these days! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteNo words necessary here except that I totally agree with you Cindy!

Lovely card for a lovely lady. Love is the best gift of all. We should give it freely and especially to ourselves. Mimi

ReplyDeleteCindu dearest,
ReplyDeletethank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet comment. Love reading your comments and love your post - it's so full of love and gratitude that makes me feel surrounded by the warm light of all that love. You are a wonderful person and this cute card your friend sent you. It's as sweet and precious as you are.
Lots of hugs
rita
p.s. I'll be checking my mailbox. Who knows, your gift might be here in time for me to put it under the tree, If not, well, New Year will be another perfect day!
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. I guess we are getting older because we know it doesn't take a store bought gift to make us really happy. When someone takes the time to do something thoughtful it is the BEST gift. I love handmade cards or like yours one that obviously reflects what you love in life. That's wonderful. My post today is similar. Lisa
PS Did any mail come?
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYes, I got your check Tuesday.
