No Second Thoughts

I've done this before....I actually have a couple weird, small tokens of appreciation still in my closet...because I had second thoughts that they might be too over-the-top :)

I like giving people things, but I like giving them things that might make for a funny or awkward moment if the person doesn't "get it"....and usually they don't....but, part of the gift is the laughter and memories.  My dad can tell a story about a time I bought him a pocket :)  One time he was working on something and complaining that he didn't have a pocket for nails or screws or something like that and I remembered his frustration and bought him this thing called "The Pocket".  Luckily, he "got it" and thought it was pretty funny.

I thought this quote was interesting though....makes sense that we would have Thanksgiving and then Christmas....love expressing itself in gratitude and then a time for the greatest joyful response of the whole year, right!?

Aren't you grateful that God wrapped His gift to us in swaddling cloth

AND ACTUALLY GAVE IT TO US?!...He didn't reconsider,
"On second thought...is this going overboard?"
