Simply....beautiful.

**My wonderful sister wrote this for me (my nic-name is "Mur"), and  showed once again that God gave her such a wonderful gift of written word while also lifting those up around her.**  Thank you, Jen.  I love you for it, and for the gift that is you as well.

[The Specialness of Mur.]

I don't usually use Biblical references.  Just couldn't help myself this one time.

You know how the Three Wisemen brought gifts to Jesus and all?
Gold.  Myrrh.  Frankincense.
We're gonna change "myrrh" to Mur 'cause it helps my weird little story along better.

Anyway... Mur was presented to the Christ Child soon after his birth.  And I think he knew this particular Gift was far more valuable than the others 'cause he took a special shine to it later on down the line.
He was given this Gift, the Gift returned his adoration whole-heartedly.
He bestowed upon Mur the most lavish of all appreciative tokens.

First, Mur was given unwavering Love.
Which was followed by Mur's very own Angel.  (And really?  Who doesn't want one of those?)
The Angel was Mur's most precious gift.  The beautiful creature brightened Mur's life to a degree we'll never understand.
As time went on, Mur began to feel a little doubtful to the deserving of these wonderful Gifts.
For that, the Christ Child had the Cure.  Faith.
To help Mur believe that these Gifts were, without a doubt, fully deserving.
While Faith has it's own set of turmoil, it is unbreakable and has a strength all it's own.
If you're concerned about the floor dropping out from under Mur, don't be.
Mur has Love to fill her life and heart, an Angel to always watch over her, and the Faith to give her strength when things seem impossible.
We should all wish to be so obviously blessed.

-- Love you, Mur.
And I'm grateful to have the Gift of you.
