GOD’S GIFTS
Our talents, skills, expertise and even love partners, business associates, friends or business connections are God’s Gifts to us. God’s manifestations of love to us are immeasurable that it allows us to choose the kind of life we want, the type of person we like or the brand of material preferences we buy.
Basically, we base giving gifts to the world’s standards of material things. Only a few appreciate love, peace of mind, knowledge, health or happiness as a form of gift. We never realize that material possessions are nothing. It’s useless when you’re not happy and at peace. When you’re sick, you cannot enjoy life. You cannot do things you wanted to do. You are tied up with the tiring medication process. Thus, everything around us is God’s gift to us. So, we should appreciate everything and take care of these things. Value our family especially our parents when they are still around since when they’re gone what’s done cannot be undone. Before it’s too late make sure to give them attention, love and care. Obey our parents just as we honor God.
In this generation we judge a person by the kind of material possessions we own. Just like giving gifts, people want a branded material thing as a gift. We always presume that giving gifts is directly proportional to any kind or form of material thing. True enough it’s difficult to know what you really want in life as a gift. What is it that makes you happy? We are all guided by the world’s standard and we base our choices by the the trend and influence brought to us by the media or from the people around us, our friends. In my case I love giving gifts to my family and friends something that are valuable and unique. I consider things like appliances, gadgets like cellular phones, laptop or DVD and useful things like cufflinks, t-shirts, shoes , traveling bags and school supplies as best gifts to people special to us. Things that are very important, very useful and of value are always appreciated.
