The Gifting is on...ready, set, go!Written by Renuka Baron

You can even go a step further and write down amount of funds you would be willing to spend in “have to” column and use that money for something that you really want. For example, I was brought up in a home where preparing a meal for some else was a form of expressing love and generosity. So, when I give somebody food I have labored over, it is an extension of my love. Since I don’t know anyone in my circle that is desperate for my cooking, last year I decided to share my form of love with people I don’t know. With help from my husband and sons, I made several cartons of bagged lunches and took them to streets in our city where homeless sleep. I handed each bag personally. A couple of people refused my “love” but rest where very happy to have a meal which wasn’t fished out of dumpsters. It was so amazingly joyous to give from my heart. I don’t know if I have ever felt same way when I have received a gift, and I have gotten some fantastic gifts in my lifetime. If somebody could give you any gift on this planet, what would you want? Who would you want it from? How much would it cost? How would you feel when you received it? What is stopping you from having this gift? If your last answer is money, then I suggest you might be wanting wrong thing.My challenge this season to you is whatever and whomever to choose to give to, share a piece of yourself and give from heart. If you write cards, include more than just your name. Most importantly, whoever you choose to spend your time with, speak a little gentler, hug a little longer and tighter, smile a little wider, laugh a little louder, dance a little more openly, and love a lot more generously. Don’t hide your love, share it. It is worth more than anything you could buy in a store. Love not shared is love not known. May God of your understanding shine brightly on you. Have a blessed season!
