A Season of Love Message~12-5-11~The Best Gift of All~
December 5, 2011
A Season of Love Message for Monday: Today, I will think of gifts I can give to people that have deeper meaning in them than just to make someone happy for a few minutes. Do you give gifts that are well thought out, that give longer than a few minutes or a few days? When giving from the heart, we can be even more creative when giving gifts, even “re-gifting” a gift that is something close to our hearts that we know will feel the same for someone else we love. The true meaning of the Holidays isn’t to try and buy everything on someone’s list, but to create a happy, warm feeling in the heart that will last a lot longer than just through the New Year! Today I will take time to think about giving gifts that have deeper meaning and feeling to them and give from my heart with love.
So often, people will tell us, what they want for the Holidays. I used to ask and try to give gifts people on my list needed or wanted, which made them happy and me too. As the years have gone by and I’ve enjoyed many Holidays as a child, adult, Mother and Nana, I’ve been changing my views on gift giving and receiving. I love the surprise in the beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree, but sometimes when we get older, the surprise and magic seems to fade. It doesn’t have to. We can keep the fun, the surprise and magic in the Holidays by giving gifts that are well thought out, fun, cheerful and even by “re-gifting” something we’ve enjoyed and loved, to someone that will also enjoy, love and appreciate them. Sometimes no gift is good, when we get to spend time with those we love and just share good food, conversation, laughs and good times! When we give gifts because we’re sharing love and joy, we don’t need to expect a gift back from those we give to, it’s in giving from the heart that’s so important, that creates the true joy for the holidays!
A gift from the heart, no matter how expensive it is or even if it didn’t cost anything in monetary value, is always the best gift because it truly means the most. Think about it. What gift can you give that’s from the heart and not just from your pocket? I’m sure whatever gift you give, when you give it with love and from your heart, it’s the best gift of all!
