Gifts: The Gifts That Keep On Giving



We are each of us dynamically gifted.  No one says they are solely defined by one thing.  We are comprised of more than what we do as a career, or a hobby, or whom we love, or where we spend our time.  It is through these experiences that we discover our myriad gifts.  

We find that through extending ourselves, we may be good at telling stories, or managing agendas, or singing in harmony.  When we place ourselves in different dynamic circumstances, it stretches and strengthens us by giving us opportunities we would not otherwise have alone.

Being in a group of friends, family and other allies allows us to explore development of ourselves in a safe, trusted atmosphere.  When you surround yourself with people who love you, people you trust, you are freer from you inhibitions to attempt new responsibilities and discover new talents that you are tempted to try.  You know you will be supported by love.  

According yourself with people you love and trust also allows them the opportunity to grow and evolve new and wonderful talents.  As your circle of friends and allies grow, the intensity, depth and dynamic that you enjoy learning about and with others enables you to learn more about yourself.

When there is love, there is no jealousy, no resentment and no competition.  All is shared in harmony and with joy.  What gifts you have you happily give to your friends and family.  Giving with love may come from seeing an opportunity and need to give, hearing a request from another or simply knowing that you just want to express yourself and share it with someone.  Whatever the case may be, when you give with love, there is no expectation for anything in return.  The joy is in the giving.

Likewise, what gifts your loved ones have they joyously give to you.  Their gifts are now yours.  Take time to really consider this: Their gifts are now yours.  

Would you hesitate to give your friend a hand if they asked? 
Would you balk at the thought of helping your child, mate or parent with … anything?
Neither should you be fearful of offering the opportunity for someone you love to give it to you.  When you make a request of someone, you are affording them the chance to shower you with their love.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.   Matthew 7:7-8

So go- share your gifts abundantly and with joy.  Find places to extend your love.  Love is the only investment that has absolutely no diminishing returns and will always only increase in value.
