Your Heart's Desire?

Not to wax cheesy or anything, but this time of year: Thanksgiving ( here in the US ) and Christmas ( for those who celebrate ) tends to evoke pondering. At least for me.

I couldn't get into the Christmas spirit this year. Maybe it's 26 years of decorating gone blah....not sure. But the thought of dragging out 17 crates of decorations, taking them out and finding a place for them in my already stuffed house left me thinking: A) too tired. B) I don't need ONE MORE 'THING'

Alas, I was so delighted and relieved to come home from my 26th anniversary trip to find that my DD#1, DM and DS#2 had decorated! As I walked into the house and smelled the pine candles, listened to the carols booming from speakers and toured my 'decked out house' I was too stunned to cry. Thankfully, I smiled, hugged and thanked the do-gooders.

I've reflected that: I've already HAD my Christmas. That one gift was all I need. And it didn't even come from a store.

No surprise that the gifts we give from our heart--often small acts of service and kindness--are those that last the longest, penetrate the deepest and mean the most in the end.

What's your heart's desire this Christmas?

From my heart to yours, I hope that, whatever it is you recieve it.
