I arrived at home today finding a big brown box sitting at the top of my mailbox. Looking at the sender’s address, I immediately recognized my friend’s handwriting. So Betty sent me an early Christmas gift, no wonder she kept asking when I will be leaving town this Christmas. I smiled inside and carried the box into my house.
It is a wonder that a gift can bring so much warmth to our heart. It tells you that someone cares about you and loves you. It doesn’t matter whether the gift is expensive or not. The mere fact that someone cares enough to wrap that gift is sufficient to warm your heart.
In today’s world, we rely more and more on electronic greetings and webcam to connect to our loved ones. A physical gift sent through snail mail is still very special. It’s tangible and it brings a physical connection to you. It reminds me how much joy we can bring to others by simply sending a gift.
My family are all far away, but my friend’s love and caring reminds me I am not alone. If we can all give and care for others, how much joy we can create with people around us.
