The bumper sticker read “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to God.”
Think about the best and worst gifts you have ever received. Was it wrapped in plain brown shipping paper that completely hid the wonderful mystery inside or was it be decked out in fine paper and fancy bows with nothing significant on the inside? Did it make you ask “WHAT did I do to deserve THIS?” or “What did I do to DESERVE this?” Was the gift about the giver or the receiver? Was the gift something that was given to you or was it something done for you?
Think about how those gifts made you feel. The best ones make you feel special and cherished. The worst ones make you feel unloved and unappreciated.
As we go through our day our thoughts, words and actions are our gifts to ourselves and others.
Go be a Great Gift!
