Yes, I know that you wouldn't mind finding a beautifully wrapped package under your Christmas tree, and it is probably something you have dreamed about often in the past. I know I have.
But sometimes the anticipation exceeds the actuality of the situation, resulting in disappointment.
And it seems that as you and I grow in maturity--or maybe just older--the pretty bow and wrappings do not have the same intensity. Sure, we still look forward to opening packages, but
the excitement and satisfaction levels become greatly reduced.
And that can be a good thing...because maybe we are beginning to notice how ineffective material things are at really satisfying us. Perhaps there really is more to life than accumulating stuff.
What if the gifts you and I seek are not material at all? What if what we really need exists in the hope and peace of Christmas? After all, love can come in a very small package...
