Gifts

As the new month begins and the Christmas season rushes in I cannot help but think about the amazing gifts that have been given to me that nobody could put a price on.
In just a few weeks it will have been 30 years ago that I was given the gift of life by a loving mother who still to this day takes care of me the best she knows how.
It has been 15 years since I found out that I had been given the gift of singing. A gift that I try to use every day, even if it is just to sing "You Are My Sunshine" to a couple of sweet little boys.
It has been 6 years since I received the gift of love. True love. That love has been tried and tested many times and it will forever be strong because of faith, patience, and compassion.
4 years ago a precious gift was placed in my arms and I have never let go of him. My sweet, loving, and extremely friendly Tanner brings such light to my life and I pray daily that that light never goes out.
1 year ago I was again blessed with a precious gift. One that I never get tired of kissing and squeezing because he is just so squishy. Gavin smiles and the world goes away. He blows kisses and everything is perfect.
And for some reason that I am positive only my Heavenly Father knows, I am again being given yet another little gift. Next week I will know if this gift will come wrapped in a pink or blue bow but that doesn't matter to me because just the knowledge that my Father in Heaven feels that I am special enough to be given all these gifts makes me feel more loved than I could ever imagine.
Many gifts will be passed out by me and probably to me in the next few weeks, but the greatest gift I have ever been given is the knowledge that I am loved.
