"Love Gift"

The other day while visitng family for Thanksgiving I mentioned to a relative that I had a gift ready to give them and meant to bring it that day. However, since I had forgotten it and would be bringing it at Christmas time I wanted them to know that it was not a christmas gift but just a little "Love Gift". Love gift just rolled right off my tongue like I said it all the time, this is not something I mention a lot however...and then I remembered...GRANDMA Ruth! She brought "Love Gifts" all the time as we grew up. Anything from candy to donuts to socks to crossword puzzle books. Usually no special reason, just meant she was thinking about us before she came to say hello. It just made me smile and remember her. Isn't that what all gifts should be? ... even Christmas gifts..."Love Gifts" given from the heart to "treat" the other person. So this Christmas season I hope to give even the simplist of gifts as "Love gifts." I miss you Grandma Ruth!
