Evening Everybody:
Yes, it's the season to be jolly and part of that is trying to purchase a gift for everyone. It's a sweet thought; but it can also take you on a roller coast ride; because what you think a sibling or friend will like, might not catch they eye ...
Don't get us wrong, if the Lord blesses you with enough money to buy someone a gift, more power to it. However, be careful that your attitude isn't determined by their gratitude and especially after they see the ...gift, you wrapped up with so much love. #Mmm, We're not against gift giving; however (in our opinion) a person doesn't have to break the bank in order to have a Merry Christmas. Therefore, keep the following verse in mind?
1 Peter 4:10 (NLV) - God has given each of you a gift. Use it to help each other. This will show God’s loving-favor.
I was motivated to share this post because I've witnessed lots of people stop tending to their household responsibilities in order to receive pats on the back from the people they gave presents to. Oh well, I call that being irresponsible; but that's just me ...
Have A Blessed Day,
