The tearing of wrapping paper, the breath of anticipation. All-embracing what’s to come, because love has come. The moment of unexpected surprise. The words that moved me.
Christmas is for boys and girls of all ages, young and old. And even with a list that has been perfectly etched, there is still wonderment of what’s to be underneath the paper for you and me.

It was Christmas afternoon. Finally, everyone was awake and ready to engage in the festivities. Our little Einstein, Noah, began unwrapping another rectangle gift as he murmured, “Is this what I wanted or one of the phantom books?”
The mystery of complexity. The magic of Christmas. The excitement for a mom who desired to surprise beyond the etched wanted list.
But putting it into real life, it was the words that moved me.
You could see his eyes light up with anticipation and hopeful glee that soon the mystery would be revealed to him and me. I sat listening with an intensity that could break the sound barrier. Yes! Oh so quiet!
And with profound excitement, a gift uncovered that surprised me. A gift from the father’s heart.
You see, this special gift was picked by his daddy. To see the sweet joy and hear the proclamation that it was not on the list was a sweet taste of extraordinary happiness.
Smiles shared by all, especially from the father’s heart.
As I immersed myself in the presence of gift-giving, I understood what a gift God gave to us; His presence.
We too need to give the gift of presence to our children.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Give the gift of presence!
We can get what we want on the etched wanted list. But where does that get us in life? Maybe one place for a moment, yet you have to look at it from a lifetime perspective.
We are becoming masters at digital techno presence, but we are forgetting the heart presence.
God gave us His heart; the Father’s heart
- To guide us
- To protect us
- To love us unconditionally
- To awaken our dreams
- To yearn for something greater than what’s on earth.
The words that moved me.
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ~ Isaiah 9:6
Christmas doesn’t end today because the presents are all unwrapped and put away for use later. Christmas is year-round given from the Father’s heart.
So as you continue celebrating this holiday season…
- Listen with an intense beat of the heart.
- Say “I love you” more than you curse.
- Spread the joy of Christmas year-round.
May the presence of Christmas touch your heart now and into the new year. Love has come!
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!”
