the gifts from christmas

I have received some very thoughtful gifts this Christmas. I am appreciative because I see the heart behind the choice of the gifts. It made me very grateful that God has blessed me with the friendship of these special friends. A friend has not failed to give me guide books and travel books for the past 3 birthdays and christmasses. Now, she has resigned to just a sigh when she hears about my trips to Australia. Another friend got me a bottle of fragrance that I have been using since 1997 which can only be gotten from 3 parts of the world. Yet another friend got me a Koala stuff toy before I left for my Australia trip. Another friend gave me something blingy because she knows that's something that I like. All the other people who took the effort and time to shop for gifts and write sweet notes of appreciation really cause me to give thanks. Who am I to deserve so much? I can only pray that God will use me to contribute to their lives in a special way.
