What did you get for Christmas?

Spiritual resource to share: your gifts


One of the most touching messages I received this Christmas was from a friend who lost her husband earlier this year. In her Christmas message to friends, she recounted the wonderful gifts her husband gave to us all. Among them were the gifts of curiosity, joy, generosity and acceptance. These are the gifts that bring comfort year-round.

This made me reflect on all the gifts that I have been given all year - gifts that keep opening up!

  • peace and the promise of peace
  • companionship
  • atmosphere of vitality and creativity
  • healing
  • new and continually fresh views of God - daily!
The beauty of these gifts is that they are contagious and replenish themselves. In the Bible it says, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

So, what are your top five gifts that you got for Christmas?
