Happy Friday, Friends!
I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day as a glorious new day begins in my Sweet Home Alabama! This is going to be a great day…you can feel the excitement in the air!
Last night I was at the Big Brothers Big Sisters Christmas party. I was sitting with a bunch of kids while they were eating their pizza, and I asked one of them what they wanted for Christmas. He stammered around, not giving me an answer. I joked that I was pretty sure that he was going to get what he was asking for, nothing! And then a little boy who was sitting just off to the side said what I thought was “glove.” I clarified, “You want a glove for Christmas?” He responded, “No, I want love. I want my family to be together.”
I hope that strikes you as profoundly as it does me. We say the right things, however, have we truly been in a situation where that is genuinely our Christmas wish? Perhaps more importantly, do we live like love and our families being together is the most important thing?
My heart is not to guilt or shame anyone. Inspired by this sweet boy who this genuinely was his Christmas wish, I intend to honor him and the lesson he so innocently and yet powerfully taught all of us sitting around that table last night. Yes, gifts are nice and there is nothing wrong with giving and receiving them. However, I will intentionally cherish each family member and friend I get to spend time with and be fully present in every moment with them. I believe this will be the greatest gift for us all!
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if there is ever anything I can do for you or your family. I will always help you any way I can. You can reach me at kevin@whatwillyourinfluencebe.com.
Have a great day, a wonderful weekend, please cherish your precious family, please stay well, and Merry Christmas!
