If someone bestowed upon you this wish, May you receive in life one-hundred times what you’ve given to others, would you consider it a blessing or a curse?
Most of the gifts for which we can be most thankful throughout a lifetime aren’t tangible at all. Don’t be ashamed if you can’t cram lavish gifts into your budget this holiday season. Instead, bestow the gifts which, if you were to receive them in-turn one-hundred-fold, you’d be proud and very blessed.
You’re amazing,
Nora

What a wonderful, pleasant reminder. We get caught up in our busy lives and we forget to focus on the real joy and the sometimes hidden blessings. As I sit here holding the hand of my 78 yo father who lays critically ill, I flashback over the years of joy, and sorrow, knowing I would not change a thing. I am thankful that I have these moments with him now.
