“The Gift”
As I placed the star upon our simple Christmas tree; thoughts of what we do not have flew far from me.
We may not be able to go out and buy fancy gifts.
We may not even be able to afford to light our trees.
But by the grace of God we have the love of our friends and family.
Christmas has nothing to do with owning the newest and greatest thing; nor is it the presents that lay beneath a lighted tree.
Christmas is about celebrating the gift that God sent to us, and sharing that love with all that we see.
So even though the space under the tree may seem a little bare; the love of our friends and family will always be there.

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
  All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
