The Perfect Gift

by Terri King on Dec.10, 2008, under Uncategorized

Yeah, it’s Christmastime, and times are tough all over.

So in this time of giving, if you’re looking for the perfect gift there’s a good chance it might be a word of encouragement.

Be sensitive to other people’s situation. And if you’ve got a minute, lend an ear.

Material things come and go but emotional and spiritual gifts can last a lifetime.

If you’re like me and during these challenging times it’s been hard to find a place to give praise, remember this;

it’s the hard times that knit our hearts together and strengthen our bonds. And for that we can be thankful.

Thankfully yours,

Terri King

I agree. But for some reason, I battle feelings of guilt for not being able to buy for my family circle, and friends like I have in the past. I enjoy giving to others, even more than I enjoy receiving. So, I am going to use your advice and look for ways to listen, encourage and maybe even inspire someone this Christmas season. I fully expect to be encouraged and inspired myself by being open to these opportunities. Thank you for the thoughtful and thought provoking blog. I love you Sissy.

Hey Terri,

I have had a chance to go back and read quite a few of your posts. You were right, they tend to be deep. I don’t really know you, I only sat beside you in GRI 204 for one day, but from the blog it appears you have had some difficult times and you are searching for true happiness. Am I right?
