Psalm 23:6
I don't speak the language of gifts. That's just not my thing. I like to get gifts, but I don't think in terms of gifts. And so just like in any relationship, you know, you have love languages. And, normally, the husband speaks one language and the wife speaks a different language, so you really have to work. Well, I have to work at being a good gift giver, and Debbie has taught me about giving gifts.

You open that little one, '' you know, and we kind of go around. And Jill, Amy, and Sarah are opening. Then Debbie opens. And I open. Well, we got down to the big gifts toward the end, and I gave Debbie that first big gift, the amethyst rin ...
