The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Rachel’s birthday was yesterday, coinciding with the observance of Martin Luther King Day. We were blessed to have the whole family—including significant others—together for the celebration. Our daughters are gifts to Mary and me from the Creator, gifts that continue to increase our sense of enjoyment and fulfilment. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a gift to humanity, just as were those who preceded him. The Christmas story is actually about a gift from the Creator that illumined human hearts and minds by its very presence. Human life as a gift from God: what an amazing world this would be if that was our universal creed.
