Greg McDougal What Is The Best Gift You Have Given?
The best gift I ever gave to someone at Christmas is when I literally hired my 4 children Jeffrey, Sean, Katie and Grace to learn and practice singing The Lighthouse to sing it for my Mom at Christmas. You see, my twin brother and I along with our two younger sisters sang The Lighthouse a million times for any gathering of people we were ever in front of when we were young. Now thirty years later, as a father of four little ones ages 7 and under heading back home to see family I wanted to give a special gift to my Mom, brothers and sisters that would at the very least be a bit nostalgic. We were all gathered and I got my 4 little ones up and they sang with all their might…..’And I thank God for the Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him…..’
Needless to say, there was not a dry eye in the room….. and this little ‘gift’ has turned out to be a gift that just keeps giving in our lives and so many others as my children sing it each week now in full time music ministry. I just a few months ago got to have them sing it for Bo Hinson here in Mt Juliet, TN
