I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Happy Chanukah and Happy Kwanzaa. If I missed your special holiday I am sorry and please tell me and I will add it to my post. Love you all, no matter what God you celebrate.

Me too.
I came from a very poor family, but love is the greatest treasure we have.
It is the one thing I got from my grandparents, parents, aunties & uncles and cousins … that was matter the most to me right now that I am older …
But it does take a longer time for us to learn to understand that these are the greatest value of life ever …
Wish you a lovely Wednesday, Tessa!

Thank you Sherrie, I can tell you I didn’t learn that as a child. I had to grow up for that one.

Tessa, you gave me chills with your beautiful words after your quote. I feel exactly the same. We are all the same flesh and blood no matter who we worship. A delightful quote from Helen Keller. ❤

I did not come from a poor family but we never had too many gifts simply because it was not in our tradition to give gifts. As we grew up and came to know through media that gift giving was an essential part of the Christmas celebration, we wanted as only children can want, to be covered with gifts. Then my parents started giving us one new set of clothes and may be some candied cherries. That was it but there was so much of love, comfort, good cheer, smiling and laughter in our home that I would not have ever had it otherwise.
Praise God and thank you Tessa for writing this- helping us appreciate what we had or have in our lives instead of wanting something else.

Hi Teresa! Coincidently, we chose the same quote this week, but that’s okay, because the more people read these words the better. 😉
