Fourth Day of Christmas-The Best Christmas Present I Ever Received
Hmmm, this is a tough one. I remember lots of gifts, and yet barely any at the same time. I know that doesn't make sense. But, my parents were good to me. I was spoiled. I'm admitting it. I was flat spoiled. Like a former post mentioned, I remember getting an awesome pink and grey 10-speed bike. I also remember getting a huge stereo system.
I mentioned yesterday about GIVING a car as a gift...but one of the best gifts I ever got WAS a car! A '78 Monte Carlo (I think).
Want to know what I remember most? Two things. First was the pride on my parents faces. They did this. They found it, painted it, gave it. They provided for me. The second memory I have attached to that car is driving to my grandma's apartment in it on Christmas Day. I distinctly remember being as careful as can be. I even remember pulling in her lot and that there was snow on the ground. It was so pretty. And I was driving my car. THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!
That is my material answer. My emotional answer would have to do with when I became a mom right before Thanksgiving. Then, the best gift I received was that first Christmas as a family. I "got" the emotion of seeing them Christmas morning. The blessing of giving to them. The joy of sharing the story of Jesus with them. My daughters. My heart!
Well, I heard about Kristy's Barbie Dream house. And about Sarah's gift of receiving and giving. But what about you? What is one of your treasured gift memories?
