Gifts of Air and Water A little more money, and I could buy… exactly what my kid wanted. Yet I found, that it may not be, exactly what they needed. For less, I could choose, to get the best of usefulness. For more, I could buy flagrantly useless. The smile on my kids face, may or may not be equally the same, but the memory in my heart, that I want to keep, is very different. I wish to teach a lesson, of being a good steward. I also wish to lavish my love. The moment passes. I do the right thing. Thank you Lord. Shop on.

We are such a hurry to stand in line and buy, what we can not buy at all... Hugs my friend. Blessings on your season... Ann

what a lovely message of how to mother during this season. I never gave extravagant gifts to my kids, but things I hope they found useful!

If I were going to go the extra mile, I would like to think it was for the right reason... if it does not turn out that way in the end... Hugs... Merry Christmas... Ann

Yes indeed what a dilemma good steward or great parent?? The two are one in the same.
