What Type of Gift Giver Are You?
Practical Thoughts
Be honest now – don’t you just love receiving a gift? Most of us would say we do. However, have you ever received a gift and thought to yourself (at least I hope you didn’t say this out loud), “What in the world were they thinking??? Yuck with a capital Y!” Immediately that thing went to the back of the closet, the trash bin, or the Goodwill store.
However, before you fault the gift giver, let me share something with you that I’ve learned in my life experiences. The way I see it, there are three types of gift givers. Let me describe each one to you.
(1) Some people like to give other people things that they themselves like.
(2) Some individuals like to give other people gifts that they think the recipient would most enjoy receiving.
(3) Some folks feel that as long as they are giving someone something that is all that matters.
If you really desire to impact someone’s life with your gift; then you need to discover (just ask) what mindset is the person you wish to bless with a gift. For example, if the person you’re giving to is thrilled to receive anything, because in their mind, a gift is a gift, then that’s great. For this person you have free reign to get them just about anything.
The bottom line is take the time, and make the effort, to find out what would mean the most to the person you wish to bless. After all, don’t you desire to be the biggest blessing you can be to those you love?
What type of gift recipient is our Heavenly Father? Next time you see me; let me know what you think!
