If
you are running out of ideas for things to do this Christmas, consider this.
Last
night we had four of our grand-kids over for dinner. After feasting on Carolyn’s homemade meat
loaf, we did a simple craft time of everyone water-coloring their own picture,
and then moved in by the fireplace. A
nice blaze was warming the room.
I
read a few Christmas stories and then went around the room and gave each one
present a few words of esteem. I brought
out character traits I see, positive growth and maturity, beauty, kindness
expressed toward others. You get the
idea.
For
two or three minutes each person in the room was the focus of attention and
received the gift of hearing what they are good at doing and a forecasting of what
I hoped for each one.
It
was a magical evening. I left there with
a warm glow in my heart for having shared in the lives of those special people.
Those
around you need to hear that too, Mom and Dad.
Pause long enough occasionally to let those nearest and dearest know just
how much they mean to you and what wonderful traits you see and sense in each
one.
Merry
Christmas.
