The Greatest Gift

The greatest gift, in my opinion, is giving of yourself.  My nine-year-old, Heather, wrapped a present for both her dad and myself.  Each of us received a personal note from her wishing us a Merry Christmas.  Then, inside the bag, we found a one dollar bill and a rock.  The rock was one from her special collection.  The dollar was from her money she'd been saving.  She only had three dollars.  Her dad and I received the last two dollars after Heather bought a present for a special friend.  I don't think I had a better present this year.  We were so proud of her choosing to give of what she had all on her own.
