It's All about Me

i was asking Josh what he wanted for Christmas and all he wants is this one particular gift. it's a little pricy but not unreasonable by any means. this gift is ALL he wants. well of course i wanted him to have more than one gift to open for Christmas, he is my other half. so i order him a couple of books online and once i received them i realized that they were not what i thought they were... (fyi: when something says it's in Hebrew... it really means Hebrew... like symbols!) soo... they are now listed on ebay because they are completely useless to us non-Hebrew reading/speaking Americans. i thought to myself this is just great... now what am i going to get him.. so he is well aware of this incident and continues to assure me that the one gift he asked for is truly all he wants. he told me that he has been collecting this thing since he was four.

so i starting thinking about it and asked him... so if i get you a new one of these every year then you will just be happy with that one gift?? he said.... that would be awesome! ... i then was certain to let him know that if i only received one gift from him for Christmas i would probably cry. (not literally but inside i would be upset) ...unless it was something like a new car .. lol.. but i said i have to have like 3 gifts... they could all be little gifts but i want more than one.

now how selfish of me to think and how bold of me to speak.. first of all Christmas is not about me! and it's not about presents... it's not even about going to grandma's house and eating those amazing pies... it's ALL about Jesus! i have now realized that my main focus needs to change about the season.. if He is the reason for this season then why would i dare think to number my gifts as if they resemble any importance? He is the best gift i have ever received... and now i can say that i have found the true meaning of Christmas.
