From My Prayer Journal
Lord, what I really want for Christmas is a heart of self-discipline. Can you please wrap it in pretty--not painful--wrapping paper?
Yes, I Think You're Right
Conversation before bedtime. I ask, "Daniel, do you know what Christmas is all about?" He tilts his head, nods, then replies, "Thanksgiving!"
Oh! You just make my heart want to burst with joy. What wonderful things to remember. I hope you get the pretty paper, too, but don't feel slighted if you don't. It's still a wonderful gift.

Your posts always make me smile.... :D
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like one of those gift-wrapped self-discipline things, too. Either that, or gift-wrapped control of my tongue.
ReplyDeleteI love your son't definition of what Christmas is all about!
Kim, that would be a useful gift for me, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smiles, everyone!
That is a special reflection on gifts and the meaning of Christmas by your son. I liked that. Your faith shines through your posts. I'm still smiling!
