Every year, there are lots of presents under the Christmas tree...wrapped up in pretty paper... tied with ribbons and bows. As Christmas approaches, I miss my Mom and Dad even more. I'm reminded of two precious gifts that you can't place under the tree. One is the gift of the Baby Jesus and what He offers to each of us...if we will just reach out and take the gift.
Another gift was one that I received just days before my sweet Mother passed.
