There are treasures in life, but owners are few
Of money and power to buy things brand new.
Yet you can be wealthy and feel regal too,
If you will just look for the treasures in you.
These treasures in life are not hard to find
When you look in your heart, your soul, and your mind.
For when you are willing to share what's within,
Your fervent search for riches will end.
The joy and the laughter, the smile that you bring;
The heart unafraid to love and to sing;
The hand always willing to help those in need;
Ones quick to reach out, to labor and feed.
So thank you for sharing these great gifts inside;
The caring, the cheering, the hug when one cried.
Thanks for the energy, encouragement too,
And thank you for sharing the treasures in you.

GOOD MORNING
Truth is, the best gifts of all are not meant to be kept or even possessed;they are intended to be given a way ... to be passed on from person to person One thing is for sure: the gifts we receive from God are all meant to be given.
They are not ours to keep, they must be shared: they must be kept in circulation to bless others. What gifts has God given you that need to be shared -- things like grace, forgiveness, second-chances, love, stuff, time, attention, tenderness, patience, and talent?
You've been given a lot, so doesn't that mean you have a lot to give? Get creative and turn loose of what you "own" and find the greater grace in giving.
From one of my daily devotions
I’ve found so many things in my search on the theme of GIFTS that I have been a little amazed at the subject matter available!
If you’ve read my journal for awhile you know that one of my most precious gifts is my family. Today I’m off to visit DS#5 and his darlin’ wife. They just moved in to their first home and are going to be showing it off to us today.
DD and her hubby are taking me there for a visit. It’s one of those trips that takes awhile and I don’t like to go that far by my self. I did a mapquest search to get directions, hopefully we won’t get lost. It’s not too far from where they had their apartment and I’d been there several times .
So I’ll be taking a little break from the wrapping today and hopefully will get lots done tomorrow.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The greatest gift we can give one another is rapt attention to one another's existence.
May the season's simple joys
Warm your heart...
Fill your home...
Last a lifetime
