Christmas

We had a wonderful email exchange yesterday among the members of my family.  At the request of one of my children, they are wondering about reducing the number and amount of gifts shared among each other on Christmas.

They are advocating for a more simple gift exchange and then taking a collection to help a family in need.

I am so excited about this discussion, and about the fact that it was initiated by my children.  When we begin to learn that we don't need more stuff, that we already have enough, we begin to understand what life is really about.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Sounds like your wonderful kids have also been listening to Dad's sermons the past few years, regarding simplifying Christmas gifting.
