wrapping presents for others

Yesterday afternoon, Britton was helping me wrap the presents for the kiddos who were to be at our house for the Small Group Christmas party.  As we sat in the floor, surrounded by paper, tape and ribbon, I realized I was two presents short.  In a panic, I called Josh, who was out running errands and asked him to please stop at the store and buy two more presents.  After I got off the phone, I looked at Brit and said, "whew, that was close."  Brit, ever so serious, said, "mama, if we don't have enough presents, I will give them my presents." I said, "No Brit, you don't have to do that."  He said, "mama, it's ok, because I love people."

Merry Christmas Everyone!
