A few years ago a dear friend sent me a Christmas card containing this "List" of Blessings.
It so eloquently expresses in words what I feel in my heart.
Merry Christmas from our Home to Yours.
God Bless us, Every one...
“My Christmas List of
Blessings”
~Vicki J. Kuyper~
My Christmas List is more
than just a way to keep track of The Special people God has brought into my
life to love.
It’s like a treasured
scrapbook filled with pleasant memories of all the times God’s answered prayer
through friends and family.
Every name’s a touchstone
that leads to a place and time, Where God has used another’s heart to reach out
and touch mine.
It may have happened years
ago or even yesterday,
but every person on my list has changed my life some
way. Through simple
conversation, a warm hug
or a shared meal.
Every person on my list has
helped me grow or heal,
Or laugh or love or learn
or smile…
the blessings never end. As God allows our paths to
cross as family and friends.
So please know that this
greeting is more than a Christmas wish.
It’s a “thank you” card to
God for putting you on my list
Each and every one whose
name I’ve come to hold so dear.
Those who’ve shown me
Christmas joy each day of the year.
