I often get asked for Christmas gift ideas at this time of year. It's fun to receive gifts, and I appreciate that both my family and my in-laws are big gift-givers. Of course, it's not the most important part of the holiday, but it is fun!
It's been such a challenge to come up with ideas this year, though. Some gift cards, a new sweatshirt, and a couple new kitchen items would be nice. However, I'm stuck beyond that. Honestly - yes I'd love a dishwasher, but that's a bit much to ask for.
The point is, I'm not desiring much at all this Christmas. I recently figured out why.
It's because the desire of my heart can't come in a box wrapped in shiny paper. The desire of my heart is living in an orphanage or foster care in Hong Kong, South Korea, or Uganda. And I most certainly long for that blessed little desire to be enjoying his or her first Christmas with us, in his or her forever home, in 2013.
