Marriage
I remember when my boys were small, Christmas was such a fragile day, the pile of gifts was very small, under the tree where they lay.
So I devised a plan that worked, we opened gifts one by one, it made the time and gifts seem to be more doubling up the anticipation and fun.
Each gift became special in every way, and so did the one opening the gift,
and the joy of seeing the smiles on their faces really gave my spirits a lift!
I remember that, and then think of Jesus, who gives me gifts without any end, blessings pour down and fill my heart, riches more than I could ever spend!
I think of the day He rescued me, the joy that filled my heart, to know that I now belonged to Him, and of His family I was now a part!
He gave me a yearning for His word, He taught me how to pray, and every hour He's right there with me, helping me on His path to stay.
The best blessing of all took some time, He prepared my heart till He knew,
that I was finally ready to give and receive, then He gave me love, when He gave me you!
I still open gifts one by one, but not because they are so few, but because I want to savor each moment, each gift of time that I spend with you!
There seems to be an unending pile of gifts I can open each day, and sharing each one with you by my side, makes each one more special than I can say.
Gifts of love, gifts of peace, gifts of joy and hope are all mine, these are the gifts that can't be bought with money, but they're the ones that last for all time.
Every day I give my thanks, my gift to my Father above, for all He does to make my life so happy, and most of all for you, my gift of love.
