How do people know how to give the right gift? There are many people out there that don't receive well and end up taking all of their gifts back. (We won't mention names) In this day and age...how do you learn to be a great gift giver?
I've been studying this a bit this year. I know people who give gifts to see the look on the persons face when they open it. They want the eye popping action. I also know people who want to give anonymously. They don't want to be known as the giver at all. What do most people look for? Do you really study the person you are giving to? Or do you just get lucky?
President Henry B. Eyring said...."When you are on the receiving end, you will discover three things in great gift givers: they feel what you feel and are touched, they give freely, and they count sacrifice a bargain."
Have you ever thought of gift giving as a sacrifice? Or do you just give because that is what everyone else is doing? Think about it this year. It might be too late for some with shopping season already over. But what would Christmas be like if everyone gave with a sacrifice....gave with love....and gave freely?
