Last night I had a fun night out with Gavin! With this being his senior year, he’s on the go a lot, understandably. Yet last night he took time to have dinner and go to the UConn game with me. It was a sweet reminder that the best gift in life we can give one another is our undivided presence and time.

I share this today, in this season of giving, as a reminder to…

pause. breathe. pray.

As we shop for our loved ones, may we remember the best gifts we can give one another may not be something physical or cost a dime. Instead may we consider giving one another our time and undivided attention. Yes, it will cost us something - our time - yet when we choose to give someone these, we are giving the most memorable - and valuable - gift of all, as Gavin gifted me last night.

With love and hope,
Shawn
