New Christmas Gifts

There are good presents and there are bad presents; the strange and the plain; the meaningful and the last-minute. Above them all, though, is the right present. The one item that perfectly encapsulates not only the person receiving the gift, but fills a need they never even knew existed.

Receiving the right present brings you that moment of acute realization. You suddenly understood that you are seen. That someone took the time and thought and attention to see who you are deep down, and then found a gift to match. On the surface it may not seem like much, but receiving the right gift can be utterly moving. At that moment, the gift itself disappears, and you feel like all you ever needed was to be seen.

(Admittedly, for me, it’s then followed by the panic that the gift you bought could in no way be as perfect).

These gifts may not be the perfect gifts for everyone - but if just one of them proves to be the right gift for someone you know, then I’ll be glad.

Grace Upon Grace Tote Bag

Everyone carries more than they should. Responsibilities, stresses, and even shopping. The chance to be reminded of what God continually offers doesn’t need to be restricted to posters and magnets.

Proverbs to Live By Promise Tin

The one thing I often need most is guidance. Knowing where to go, and what to do, eludes me at every hesitantly-taken corner. Having a source of Proverbs can be of infinite value to someone as equally unsure of every step as me. A place to turn to for assurance and wisdom.

See Beauty in Each Day 28-Month Planner

It can be easy to lose track of the important things in life. They just slip between the days, between the busyness and stresses. In those periods of life, a daily prompt to remind me to appreciate each day as a gift (as well as a space to plan and keep tabs on the busyness) might just be what is needed. A way to stop and look around once in awhile, and see the beauty that is there all along.
