Gifts of Life: a Series of Gifts in the Ultimate Gift
9) Gift of Giving
As part of his tests, Jason had to give away some money. Who you give your money to is very important because that person can do bad things with it or good thing. Giving money away is not just about getting rid of money. It is more about what you can do with that money to make the most difference.
10) Gift of Gratitude
When someone does something nice to you, it is a good thing to give them gratitude. You should say thank you to show them that you appreciate what they did for you. Some people grow up in an environment where giving is taken for granted. For example, if you offer something special to someone, that person might turn around and say to you that you should get something bigger or better for them. They might thank God for giving them that gift instead of thanking you. Gratitude makes the giver happy and motivated to give more.
11) Gift of a day
The gift of a day is often overlooked as a gift. Most people think a gift is something tangible such as a book or a car but for Emily a gift of a perfect day is all she wanted. Emily dreamt of a perfect day which Jason made happen. A gift of a perfect day is much harder to give than most people expect because if you want to give a CD to someone then all you have to do is buy the CD, wrap it and give it to that person. However, to give a gift of a day, you have to think about what you will do all day to make that person happy, you have to devote the entire day doing nothing else but pampering that person. Most of all, you have to provide whatever you think that person will love on that day. For example, Emily wanted Christmas when it was not snowing any more. Jason had someone delivering snow to Texas to decorate a house as if it's Christmas for Emily where her mother could go horse riding. That is much more efforts than just a simple gift.
12) Gift of Love
Most of all, the gift of love could be called the Ultimate Gift. Everyone seeks love. When you are born, you should have the love of your parents. There is father 's love for son or daughter, mother's love, sibling's love, and much more. Many people often show love when it is too late such as after someone is dead. If you know someone means a lot to you, you should make a serious effort to show them that you love and appreciate them when they are alive. Children who lack love from parents often turn out to be troubled kids. Love is very important in everyone's life.
