I had the privilege of handing out presents at a Christmas party which was arranged for children from a poor area of our town who attend a pre-primary school. My church is quite involved in supporting the school and I was asked to hand out all the presents to the girls - they each received a doll.
Each child’s name was called out and the little girl would call out “Present Miss”. Then she would come forward to receive her gift. It was a humbling experience to see the gratitiude on these children’s faces. And as I stood and watched them all clinging to their new dolls, it struck me how content they were with just ONE present!
And I thought to myself - Ah, to be content with just one gift at Christmas time.
What a blessing…
