I could be like the soon-to-be crowned Miss America and say “World Peace.” But being a Christian, I know that’s not going to happen until Christ comes to rule and reign on earth. When you’ve been married over 50 years and have lived in your only house for almost 50 years, it becomes a difficult question to answer when someone asks, “What do you want for Christmas?”
In the past few years I have been given gifts that I greatly appreciated. Things like Gift Cards to one of my favorite restaurants or shopping places. This year, when my daughter asked me what I wanted, I said “I would like a word etymology book that would be a good resource for my Blogs and “From the Heart writings.” (I think that’s what I’m getting.) Beyond that, I can think of little I need or have a desire for. Realizing that I may have to downsize and move into a more manageable living space, my wife and I have been trying to get rid of the things one tends to accumulate over the years and the last thing I need is more ‘things.’
The best Christmas gift I can think of is simply having friends and family gatherings over the Holidays. These gatherings are pleasant and comforting whenever they occur, but it seems they have a special meaning during the Christmas Season.
And after all, Christmas isn’t about gifts; it’s about the gift of God’s Son to the World – the greatest Gift of all.
