I read a daily devotional online each morning. This morning's devotional was a great one! It really hit home with me especially since I am often put in the position with giving a gift to someone who does not want to accept it. It makes me feel very uncomfortable when you have to "fight" to give someone a gift. A gift is supposed to be accepted freely and with joy. On the other hand, if I am being completely honest, I also find myself, sometimes, having a difficult time receiving gifts from others. This devotional opened my eyes to maybe why that is. I encourage you to read Joyce's words here. It is important to see gifts as blessings and in return, go out and be a blessing to others. You cannot just be a gift-giver....you also have to be able to accept them!
