Merry post Christmas!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with loved ones.
Our household spent the day at my in-laws home over eating and enjoying each others company. The children got minimal gifts and guess what, they LOVED it. The children's reaction made me feel like we are doing something right in the area of raising them up. Literally they got two gifts each from my husband and I, one each from my sister and one each from the grandparents.
Every year I stress about the amount of gifts we give them because growing up sometimes we didn't get much of anything and what we got didn't last long but that's another story I likely will not share in the near future. So, I always go back to thinking if they get more they will be happier. Well that really isn't the case, and yesterday was a perfect example.
What is the conclusion of this post? More objects does not equal happiness or the feeling of being loved, time and being surrounded by the ones that love you is really what counts.
Of course the ultimate gift that does keep giving love is the gift of salvation, true and unconditional love.
Have a wonderful day!
