I’m not crying, you are. Ok, I am, too.

Kerry, your stories are the best! I devour each one as quickly as I can, then go back and reread, savoring every morsel. I agree, you need to put your stories together into a book!!

Great story, thanks for reprising. One thing I love about Christmas, even though it can get too commercial, crazy and stressful, is the symbolism of gift giving as a reminder that God entered His creation in-person as the ultimate gift so we could connect with him more fully. This bedrock principle for Christmas can get hidden in the business of the season. It is easy to take for granted, or dismiss as a myth, and I suppose it could be, but it certainly has changed the world. I hope it rocks your world this Christmas Season. Have any of you watched episodes of the Chosen? Check it out, it will help bring the Bible to life. They really humanize Jesus in the program.

I am now remembering all the gifts, most long gone, that my mother gave to me. Thank you for triggering those memories!
Happy New Year!

What a beautiful story of love and giving but more importantly of receiving a gift!

When I first got to know the VitalSmarts team, I will admit that Kerry was not at the top of my list. I wasn’t sure about his humor, and I often wondered how long will he go on before he would make his point. Now I find that he has really grown on me, and I always look forward to reading his posts because no doubt he will have a perspective that I haven’t considered. Getting acquainted with the VitalSmarts Team in 2013, along with their Influencer model, has been one of the more enriching things of my career.

In reply to Lorena. Thank you that was lovely. Like Lorena above, I too am crying at work. Better get the tissues. Yvonne

A lovely message that I will attribute to future gifts I receive. And that can be applied to people as well. I am going to a wake tonight for the father of a friend. This will be a thoughtful way to help her through her grief. Each of us is a nesting doll and we are all gifts to each other. Look deeply into one another and savor what you see and share. I am done Christmas shopping this year but will put The Gray Fedora on my “to give” list for next year. Thank you David Maxfield for your kind words. And thank you Kerry Patterson for your engaging stories with such touching messages.
