It's an amazing feeling and a blessing to be able to give. Whatever the gifts are, it's a joy to see the smile it brings to the face of the person on the receiving end. It's also a joy for the person doing the giving just to see the happiness it brings.
During the holiday season when gifts are given more frequently, take the time to think about the things your loved ones and friends would appreciate. It could be something they need but haven't gotten around to getting it as yet. It's also an exciting time for kids, they can hardly wait to find out what's wrapped and waiting for them underneath the Christmas tree.
If there's an annual gift exchange at your job, there's usually a budget attached. As past experiences have proven, while some will go all out and shop for expensive items, others tend to buy what they can afford or just don't give much thought to what they should give.
For those who are creative, a gift can also be made by hand. Think of how much care and love goes into creating something from the beginning, it's a most fulfilling feeling and should bring joy to those receiving it.
I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
