Loved it! Thanks DB!

Wonderful post DB... amazing how you can "be" in the presence of people, and still "be lonely"... and yet you can be alone, with no one around, yet "be in the presence of the Lord" and not be lonely! Amazing concept... but oh so true!

Thanks for sharing your heartfelt thoughts with us!

Growing up, and sometimes even as an adult, the most alone I have been have been with other people. I am often perfectly content when I am by myself working and otherwise "puttering" away.

YES! Kept you said it well.

However, one of the most enjoyable times of my life, is working with my children or ggrchildren, whether it be cooking, working in the yard, garden, or even cleaning house, i'd take that over a present, anytime. Just for the joy it brings to all.

I do agree... time is worth so much more than money. A gift of money takes far less work than building and maintaining a relationship.... but that relationship built brings far more happiness than any gift or $$ amount ever could.
