What do you do with a gift?
Naturally you should enjoy it but should you be selfish and stingy with it?
You can take something and use it to make yourself and someone else happy.

Of course some gifts are personable and private but many others could be shared.

Be selfish and stingy or share it with others.
The answer is found in God’s word, as each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10
It would seem that a gift is not our own but for the enjoyment of others.

Getting someone a gift can really be taxing on the giver.
There are for sure certain gifts that you DO NOT want to give.
Guys should never give her a thigh-master or a diet book.
I’m not sure if he really wants another bottle of cologne. Continue reading

So did I finish with “What’s in it for me?”
Hardly!
There are very few creatures that are not self-serving.
There are some insects and ocean creatures that will sacrifice themselves for their offspring. Continue reading
