It’s not what you get that really matters, but what you give and the reason behind that giving.

What I have discovered about wives is that they talk a lot but know when
not to talk. As far as husbands are concerned, they don't talk that 
much, but they never know when not to talk. 

Admiring our Christmas tree for this year was a very special time. In a
week or so, that tree would be taken down, the ornaments packed away, 
and the tree put back up into the attic where we stored it. While it 
was up, though, it was wonderful to think about all of the activities 
that happened around that tree. 

Of course, down through the years, we have replaced that tree several
times. But it's the thought that really matters. All the wonderful 
stories that come from that tree certainly bring cheer to our hearts. 
We spent some time talking about the gifts we gave and the gifts we 
got. 

As we were reminiscing, I remembered a verse of Scripture that has
encouraged me. 

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support
the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It 
is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). 

It's not what you get that really matters, but what you give and the
reason behind that giving.
