The most important thing about the Christian life is not what God gives you, but rather that he gives you himself. Relationships are a great deal more important than possessions.

My problem in buying Christmas presents for her is that I don't know
what she would like. She has everything she wants and can use. I cannot 
buy her anything in the category of tools because that is an unknown 
territory for me. 

I have known this young lady when she was actually young and to this
day, I would have a hard time getting a present for her that would 
actually surprise her. We have different likes and dislikes which makes 
us a very good team. 

“Oh, no,” she said abruptly. “You're not getting away with that. Before
I tell you what I want for Christmas you're going to have to tell me 
what you want for Christmas.” 

If anybody knows how to back me into a corner, it is the Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage. I have been backed into so many corners that 
there are none left in our house. 

I honestly did not know what to tell her. Then, much to my surprise, a
wonderful thought began dancing in my cranium. It danced so much it 
made me think. I came up with a special Christmas gift for this year 
that I knew she could not contradict. 

“After giving this a lot of thought,” I said very soberly, “what I want
for Christmas this year is another year to live with you.” 

Needless to say, she had nothing to say about that. Very few times do I
get to say something that causes her to be silent. 

I was reminded of what the apostle Paul said. “That I may know him, and
the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, 
being made conformable unto his death” (Philippians 3:10). 

The most important thing about the Christian life is not what God gives
you, but rather that he gives you himself. Relationships are a great 
deal more important than possessions.
