Try this at home: Reflect on the Gifts
How have you been a gift to others?
How have others been a gift to you?
During this season which has a heavy commercial emphasis on gift giving, consider how we really are the gifts, not things.
Take out your journal or notebook to focus on how you have been a gift to other people, and how other people have been a gift in your life.
How did someone really help shape your path in life? How have you helped others with theirs?
Not talking about physical gifts, more of the other kinds of gifts, the spiritual, emotional or mental.
Does reflecting on any of this prompt any new ideas about what you want next? How will you move forward?
Is this a new way of looking at things for you? Seeing yourself as a gift to others? Seeing others as a gift to you?
The true gifts in our lives are not things bought in stores, it is our presence with each other.
There are all kinds of ways to do that.
