The gift of giving: By Tim O'Brien



Our guest writer today is our brother Tim.



The Gift of Giving




                This year, for the first time I learned the gift of giving. That giving presents or time can be such a blessing. To us a lot has been given, so shouldn't we be thankful to give what we can?
                Being apart of another family has provided me with an example of giving. When Christmas comes rolling around like it always does, you bring out and dust off those gifts purchased in the summer, those garage sales remembered. Looking for the perfect gift, knowing what you really need. It truly has been a blessing.
                Growing up in the house I did, I learned to be thankful for what I got. The food was great, the company was fun, and there was always gifts to go around. I realized Christmas wasn't just about the stuff, it's about family, it's about God.
                So this Christmas seeason, I just wanted to say..
                                Have a Very Happy Christmas, and give, give, give.
