I think one of the BEST presents one can present is taking the time to be present. And that is exactly the gift that was given our family by cousins the weekend of February 20th. We had flown into Virginia Thursday evening/Friday morning and who should just show up but Uncle Dave and two cousins. What a screech of surprise reached our ears Saturday morning as the girls discovered their cousins had snuck in after a very long car ride Friday night.
It is interesting that the word PRESENT has so many meanings in our language:
–NOUN pres⋅ent
| a thing presented as a gift; gift: your time with us |
pre⋅sent –verb (used with object)
| 1. | to furnish or endow with a gift or the like, esp. by formal act: to present someone with a gold watch, or your time |
pres⋅ent –adjective
being with one or others or in the specified or understood place: to be present for a wonderful weekend.
I so thank you Vosteen cousins for making the tremendous effort it took to see us for such a brief time.
