    A young and successful attorney said, “The greatest gift I have ever received was a gift I got one Christmas. My father handed me a small box, and inside was a note saying, ‘Son, this year I’m giving you 365 hours — an hour every day after dinner.’ My dad not only kept his promise, but every year he renewed it. That’s the greatest gift I have ever received in my life. I am the result of his time.”

    Curtis Meadors told me a few days back that he had done basically the same thing. He gave his children — as a Christmas present — the gift of time. He also thought it was the best Christmas gift he had ever given.

    Maybe this Christmas is the season for giving the gift of time to your children. God bless!
