We received a present in our email from Dixie Stewart. It starts out as follows:
Seeing as it is the holiday season, there is much attention given to the topic of presents. So I thought I’d tell you a little story about a profound gift I was given this fall. The telling of this has been percolating in my mind for awhile now, to me it represents the true meaning of a present and has a way of putting things into the right perspective. If you are in a mood for a little introspection and some insight, read the story and watch the presentation at www.thehorseranch.com. You just might not believe how it can change your outlook, and how that can in turn shape events. If you think someone you know might appreciate reading it, feel free to pass it on, even if they are not avid horse lovers the message is universal. It might be just the thing to put you in the Christmas Spirit! Here is the start of it.
“My gift did not start out as profound at all, and it sure as heck was not nicely wrapped or presented. It was a hell of a mess, on one of those cold wet and windy September days – you know the kind, after its rained about four days and is really working itself into a full blown snow storm.”
