Most of us love to receive gifts and it turns out that giving gifts is also an enjoyable experience. Giving gifts is a way of letting someone know how much you care and appreciate them. Betsy, in Walking Through Illusion, says that when gifts are given they are recycled in universal substance. Gifts are returned with added power to those who received into the universe. A gift that Jesus gave was love to everyone he came across. He believed that if he acted on the love he hoped to receive, then acts of love would return. Bartholomew, from the Bible, learns that as he gave others (for their needs) his needs were also fulfilled. His life was better the more he gave.
Not all gifts need to be bought with money. There are many other gifts that you have that are free such as your time, an ear to listen to a friend or stranger in need, your joy or encouragement even a trade of a service. One of my favorite gifts to give and receive is active listening. I have worked through many of my issues with friends who have actively listened and given me feedback. What gifts do you have to share with others?
