As the Holiday season approaches (rapidly) I often look back and reminisce on Christmases past. People always say that when it comes to gift giving that it is truly the thought that counts.....Well as I look back on all the gifts I have received the one that stands out most in my mind is the year that a young baby Daniel saved up his money to buy us each 5 McDonald's bucks. I don't remember what I bought with that 5 dollars but I do remember that I held on to that gift for quite a while not wanting to lose the sentiment. I'm not really sure why it touched me so much and I actually have to let the tears flow just typing this. But I just want to leave with all of you; my friends and family that I love this time of year for the goodness and selflessness it brings out in people, I love my Heavenly Father and enjoy singing his praises so loudly throughout the season....this really is a truly wonderful time and I pray we can all look back on those memories that are more precious than all the money in the world....us Belanger's really are the richest of them all!!!
