So that’s what we try to provide them. My kids probably won’t remember every toy they received every Christmas. I know I sure don’t. But what I do remember is how I felt at Christmas. Times spent with family that made me feel happy and secure. Those are the gifts I want to give my children. [...]

And whenever I'm reminded I realize that I might not even have three minutes left, so I might as well start now!

So thanks for posting ;) In fairness, I linked back to you so people could come read!

And you are right...money doesn't matter, stuff doesn't matter...but t.i.m.e. is the currency of the moment. What you've just posted about Lynnae touches on the concepts of the Advent Conspiracy, especially relational giving. Christmas was meant to transform the world! God loves to use those who love Him to influence others for His glory. I posted some thoughts to this regard a few days ago... http://outofthemud.wordpress.com/2007/11/26/advent-conspiracy%e2%80%a6/ I’ve been through a “three days” experience more times than I would like to remember.

Our kids are grown now but I can look back and remember the happiest times were centered around each other - not what we had or what we gave each other for Christmas. I can also remember times, I rushed my kids out of the kitchen because "Mom was busy"... wish I hadn't done that as much. Blessings! Lynnae,
