Anything Is Okay Provided It Was Given Out Of Love
Anything Is Okay Provided It Was Given Out Of Love
One of the best ways to express love is through gifts, nothing moves those we love like when we get them something they don't really ask for. While I was a child, I always looked forward to my birthdays and festivities, not for anything but for the kind of gifts I would be receiving.
One funny thing about gifts is that it doesn't matter whether it is something cheap or expensive, as long as it was given out genuinely, it brings joy to the receiver regardless of his or her status.
My pastor shared a story with us one Sunday, he said a young man seeking for job wrote an application and dropped in an organization, after passing the interview and given was an appointment letter, he decided to write an appreciation text to his boss, at the end of the message he attached a two hundred Naira airtime to it.
When the boss got the message, she instantly called the guy, and started crying on the phone. She said all her life no one had ever gifted her anything. So there are people who haven't received gifts in their lives before? Imagine, a rich woman at that level, who would have thought that she ever needed a gift from someone? Imagine what it feels like at the boy's end putting smiles on the face of his boss.
There are so many people out there who need to be shown love, forget that some people look rich, and some of them don't know what the taste of love is. I am personally learning how to start sending gifts to people, whether it's something small or big it doesn't matter, the gift is not even about what's inside, the message behind it is the person sending it really cares about you.
What I Want As A Gift.
I am someone who doesn't like accepting gifts from people, not that I don't love gifts, I do, but I find it very difficult to take them from people, especially my friends, there is a way it always makes me feel.
I can remember returning a gift one of my female friends got for me around 2019 on my birthday. I didn't know how bad my actions were until the day I met her after a long period of time and she expressed her grievances. I felt so bad, I wished I could turn back the hands of time, even if I wasn't going to use it, I should have just accepted it and kept it, it would have been far better than returning it back to her.
It was like magic. After that event, no one ever got me any gifts to date. Sometimes, I wish to have it but no one is looking in my direction 😂. Each time I see people receiving gifts I feel bad and wish I could get some. Who knows, maybe God is just Punishing me for my actions. right now, if anyone should get me a gift, even if it's just a spoon, I won't hesitate to take it hehe. Guess I have learned my lesson.
The truth is I don't really have any kind of gift I consider special, all gifts are gifts as far as it was given out of love and genuineness of heart. Therefore any gift anyone gets for me is okay, be it clothes, be it perfume, be it food, or anything at all is something I'll take seriously and appreciate with all my heart.
It's not easy for people to share something with you, no gift is ever small. This is why I didn't see anything wrong with the singlet and boxers thing some ladies gift their friends. It's just that from time to time, it needs to be changed because humans get tired of seeing the same thing over and over.
Not me wanting to say it’s karma that is making nobody give you a gift again 😂😂
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say that loud😂😂😂😂
It was really harsh of your to return the gift
Even if you didn’t like it you could have sent it to me 🤣
LoL! I heard it na, it's so loud. That was really bad of me, I reasoned it after the event, I had to go and apologize to the lady.
Well, you can end the karma hun, get some gifts for your broh, but not boxers and singlets Sha😂😂

Thank you 🥰
If I was your fried and you returned my gift, I won't be happy too. No one would be happy.
Singlets and boxers are a no no😂
You are right, that was bad of me. I rendered apologies to her over my actions though
Exactly, God is punishing you for your deeds and actions. You wouldn't have done that to them. Someone like me, I will never look into your face, not to talk of presenting a gift to you, anymore.
Please try and repent. This is what you will do. Call a friend, tell him or her to buy a gift for you.
Smiles, I have repented already, I felt bad for my actions recently, and I made amends. So you are this tough hearted, thank God yesterday was val, I am expecting a gift from you. Don't say I didn't tell you o😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank God you have turned a new life.
Haha.. it is very important ❣️
People sometimes make the mistake of thinking that rich people don't need gifts and if they do, they can only be given big gifts.Thanks for your write up.
That's a mistake indeed, everyone regardless of status loves gifts and would be happy if they get one, even if it's small
The motive for the gift matters a lot,there is much happiness in giving.
Hmm it's not really cool how you returned the gift given to you by your friend, but it's something you could have make amends even till now if you still have her contact you can call her and apologize.
Yeah you're right about that statement, since a gift is given out of love, any gift is a gift.
I already tender apologies, in fact I visited her specially for that. And it was such a nice gift, I was just not comfy receiving gifts from people as at then
Thanks for stopping by sir
Ohh that's good then... You're welcome sir

Yes oo
Thank you very much dear
Rejecting gifts are not really good but sometimes I do reject an offer of gifts especially if I see it as a bait to get at me.
I always appreciate every gift I receive no matter how small they are, for the person to remember gifting me is more than enough for me.
#dreemerforlife
In this case the gift wasn't small, I just didn't want to receive gift from anyone 😂😂 my crazy principle hehe.
Well, I have learned now
I consider it as favour when someone gives me a gift. Whenever I get a gift from someone that makes me feel uncomfortable, I pray. There are some gifts we receive that may not actually be meant for us to use for ourselves, but they pass through our hands to get to the person for whom it is meant.
I came in from #dreemport as a #dreemerforlife
Hmm, I got something here, you are very right some gifts we receive are meant for others and not us, we maybe vessels to channel it to them.
That's right, bro!
