Last month, my mom had her ninetieth birthday. For several weeks leading up to her party, she was so excited. She hoped so and so would be there. (Mom, I’m sure they will try to come.) That the weather would be fine. (You know it’s April, Mom. We’ll hope for the best.) I hope I get a picture with all my great grandbabies. (I’m sure we’ll make that happen.)
The party is long over, but it is still bringing joy to my mom. On her dining room table, she has a stack of cards and gifts her friends and family gave her. She told me on a recent phone call that she still goes to the table and reads through them a couple of times a day.
We all know the joy that getting a gift brings. Birthdays, weddings, graduations, anniversaries are all days that we celebrate by giving gifts.
But have you ever thought about the gift that you are giving your readers?
