Gift of a Child

Sunday, I had turkey dinner at my sisters house because I will be out of town for Christmas and that I wasn't here for Thanksgiving. It was a great day of family relaxing and LOTS of eats. But the highlight of my day was when my Michael and Brianna ages 7&9 handed me the gifts that they had for me. I wanted to wait till Christmas, but you know kids they wanted me to open them now. I was so glad and blessed that I did. Michael had drew a picture of me and him on a regular size sheet of paper but only used the bottom ince and a half of the page. He then taped it to a peice of cardboard so that I could hang it up (and I am going to) but the best part was the HALF A ROLL of TAPE that he used (sis not happy but oh well) to wrap it with. Brianna colored me a picture that came on a box and the pic was of Mickey Mouse and friends. She to had used a lot of tape. I was so overwhelmed that I had to let you know that I think that the kids understand that it's about "from the heart". I will treasure the gifts for years to come. They mean more to me because they made it themself. They could have asked mom for money to BUY me a gift and that would have been nice but it would not have held the emotion that the hand made gifts do.
Hope that this blessed you as much as it did me. Have a Blessed and MERRY CHRISTMAS
