Holiday lights twinkle outside our doors and windows, our tree is decorated, our mantle Christmas-ified and shopping is in full swing. In spite of all of the busy-goodness of the season, may we remember to be slow enough for snuggles, open to smiles, ready for games, eager for books read again for the millionth time, patient for spills, excited for giggles, prepared for new milestones, braced for delight and grateful for moments of presence.
We forget these gifts that remain warm in our hearts cannot be bought or wrapped and more importantly that He- the King of extraordinary in the ordinary- is found in these true gifts for the heart. For they are the best gifts of all and they abound only when we slow down enough to receive them. I'm trying to simplify and slow down this holiday season. Will you join me?
May we all delight in the unwrapping of gifts for our hearts this holiday season.
