The holidays are upon us and many are in the ‘gift’ mode.  What gift do I want?  What gift should I get for my friends?  Oh boy, what will I get my family members?  My Dad is the hardest…he has everything!

So, we take the journey to the mall to see what ‘gifts’ we can find.  If you are like me, you get drawn in by the pretty displays: bright, shiny, and colorful.  Sometimes it is fun, and sometimes a trip to the mall sucks all the energy out of my body.  It can be exhausting!  Just to find the perfect gift.

What is the perfect gift anyhow?  Have you ever considered that the one perfect gift you have been looking for is YOU?!?  You know God didn’t make any mistakes.  He didn’t make extras of us just incase he discovered a flaw.  There are no flaws.  We are perfect just the way we are.

Your smile might be the only smile a stranger gets today: that is your gift to humanity.  I invite you to go through your holiday traditions knowing that you are one of the greatest gifts there is!  We all are!  Be blessed in the presence of others this year and enjoy the gift that each one of us is.

Share with me how YOU are a gift this year.  I really want to hear from you so I can share your stories to inspire others.  Email me at Sue@SueLemus.com or comment below.  Be well my gifts!
