It’s the Holiday Season and there is a lot of focus on gifts. This is the most important season of the year for the retail industry. They are hoping that we will empty our pockets to make their year profitable. But as I get older (no, scratch that, wiser!) I find there are so many gifts that require no emptying of the pockets. Last week we talked about Departing Gifts. This week I’m here to tell you that the Sunday afternoon nap is a gift straight from God himself! Lord, I thank you for the Sunday afternoon nap! It seems in the wintry months, there is nothing like a nap on the sofa underneath a good quilt or blanket. Me, I prefer the quilt. The older and more worn the better! As I wake and look around to see my family each on their chosen sofa or chair, mouth open, snuggled underneath a quilt, it is pure joy. Sunday family time. Good food, long talks, laughter and then the nap. Priceless! I encourage you this season to look for gifts of joy. Experiences that cannot be purchased. And if you’re so blessed to get a nap in. Take it!
Happy Sunday Saints!
