The kids are starting to ask what I want for Christmas. One of them just got a big fat raise and so I told that one that I wanted a lot of things, and really expensive things! I was just kidding.
Really I don't want anything. I don't need anything. I tell my kids that I want them to go with me to Westport or somewhere to care for those less fortunate. I want to spend time with them doing something meaningful.
I am more interested in spending time with them than getting things. Is that because I have everything? No I don't have everything, but they are not going to buy me a Mustang are they? Is it because I am older? Is it because I have met so many people in the world that have so little?
I don't know why I don't want anything. Maybe I wanted so much when I was a kid, that my wanter is all wanted out. Anyway, it is nice to just enjoy the time, the season and the peace that God can give.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Same question, same problem. Perhaps it's because what we want is not unique to Christmas. Or perhaps it's because we have changed from wanting to get to wanting to give. Thank you for giiving me something to ponder. And if you think of something to tell your family in response to their inquiries, let me know. I could use the help.
