I woke up at 2 am and couldn’t go back to sleep because I remembered that I hadn’t given enough thought to providing gifts and well wishes to people I love. They never forget me when it comes to birthdays and other celebrations. I was awake at 2 am, fretting over my thoughtlessness, and I can’t call them right now because it’s too early in the morning. I will try and do better, considering those who like to give gifts are probably the ones who want to receive them. 

Do you know who loves to give gifts? The Lord. We are all recipients of his generosity. There is nothing I treasure more than the gifts our Heavenly Father has bestowed upon all of us. The gift of our Savior, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are the most valuable of all our possessions. Do your best to turn your heart towards him daily because he longs to hear from you. You are his favorite; don’t forget that.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17
