After this morning's email, someone kindly replied to let me know that me sharing that my Christmas shopping was finished and that I had boxes and packages all over my room sounded as if I was bragging.
:(
I re-read what I wrote and while I certainly didn't mean it to sound that way, I feel that my words may have been hurtful to you. Not everyone has money for lots of gifts, not everyone can "go all out for Christmas" like I shared that we do.
I apologize for the insensitivity of my words. You all mean so much to me, and my true intent with sharing with you was simply to be fun and excited about Christmastime with you. If my email was hurtful, please forgive me.
May we always remember to humbly look beyond ourselves as we strive to glorify God in each moment,
