Hey Guys, I know its been so long.... But i promise to make it up to you. So today am writing on why we give gifts (I know i can see your eyes rolling). But there's a saying that says "Its not the gift that matters, but the thought behind the gift".
So i have outlined some reasons as to why we give gifts.... Enjoy.
- To show thoughtfulness, love and affection. A simple gift that comes sincerely from the heart will certainly be accepted. It will create closeness with the man or woman that you love.
- To welcome the arrival of a new baby, a member of the family, or a new colleague.
- To present a gift of laughter. Imagine the smile and laughter of the recipient. Your gift would bring joy and uplift the spirit of the recipient.
- To show cross-cultural understanding. Gifts given to persons from cultures other than your own bring peace and understanding of one another.
- To sincerely express thanksgiving. We thank God for his perfect gift of life; for the blessings that we have received and will receive in the future; and most of all, for God's greatest gift to mankind, the gift of love and new life, who is our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Gift-giving is a form of prayer; it is a symbol of love, joy, affection, peace, appreciation and thoughtfulness. When we exchange gifts, God blesses both the giver and the receiver of gifts.
So I do hope that these few pointers have changed your perception on gift giving.
