My gift to you...

To whoever stumbles across this post, I want you to know that you are a precious gift to this world.

Hey Family!

The day has finally arrived where many people join together to sing holiday carols, exchange a few gifts or reflect on the birth of Jesus. Well, even in the busyness of your festivities, #MomentsWithMahalia is here to add an additional sparkle to your day.

To whoever stumbles across this post, I want you to know that you are a precious gift to this world. Your being here is not by coincidence. Therefore, if this day doesn’t seem as memorable as years past or as filled with material things, remember that your life is one of the most valuable gifts you could receive. There is greatness living within you, and you have a lot to offer the world.

"Your being here is not by coincidence."

I’m delighted to have you share in reading this post with our entire #MWM family; however, I am more so grateful to let you know that you’re loved. Now, if you still do not believe me let’s try this…I implore you to mustard up enough courage to tell the person staring back in your reflection this three-word phrase - I love you!

Hmmm, okay, I think we need to try this again. Let’s readjust our crowns now and say this thing like we genuinely mean it. So here we go. Take a breath and then say…Self, I Love You!

See, I hope you can feel the positive energy just like I do! Remember, your words have power. So on this Christmas Day, while I cannot give you a tangible gift, the gift that I have can be stored in your heart. This gift is similar to your three-word phrase, but it’s twice the size.

Are you ready?

My gift to you comes in a packaged statement. It is not long, and it is not short. It does not have flowery words, but it is to the point. I wrote today’s post to not just wish you a Merry Christmas, but to remind you of this, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made!”

"You are fearfully and wonderfully made!"

That’s right, I’ll repeat it so it can begin to marinate in your heart — You are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Beloved, all the best to you as you champion through life.

Your sister and sideline cheerleader,

Mahalia
