Christmas is About the Gifts

Christmas is all about the gifts.
Don't you agree? 


We remind others of the reason for the season; 
We want them to remember the reason for the season, 
especially the children.
And then we head out and try to buy everything on our list, and then some.




Pause and take a few minutes before you head out to remember the reason for the season.



The gift of SPIRIT, 
unconditional love.
The gift of SELFLESSNESS & SURRENDER TO EGO & WILL
from Mary, the Virgin Mother.
The gift of TRUST & FAITH
from her fiancé Joseph.


In all our scary and unsure moments, 
let us remember Spirit, Selflessness, Trust and Faith.

The gifts from the infant Jesus of
FORGIVENESS


WHOLENESS
SECOND CHANCES


The gifts of the angels
TIDINGS OF COMFORT, JOY, PEACE
REASSURANCE that there is nothing to fear.

The shepherd boy's gift
GENEROSITY

The innkeeper's gift
COMPASSION & CHARITY

The gifts of the Three Kings
GOLD, FRANKINCENSE, MYRRH
with their REAL gifts
WONDER
ACCEPTANCE
COURAGE

YES!  YES!! 
Christmas is all about the gifts. 
Nothing but gifts, 
all the beautiful Christmas gifts!


Thank you to Sarah Ban Breathnach for inspiring these thoughts and lovely reminders about loving Christmas gifts.  Those that truly matter.
