I was very excited about today's task as it involved giving someone we know a small gift. It's actually quite difficult to pick out one person in our lives to give a gift to. Should it be one of our parents who do so much for us? A supportive friend? Someone who's going through a tough time? Someone who serves our community?
Then when you've chosen a person what do you give? Wine? Flowers? Chocolate?
We decided to give our gift to someone in need of a pick-me-up and a reminder that they are appreciated. Our lovely priest, Vicky, has been rather under the weather recently and has now come down with laryngitis- not great for a vicar to have no voice! To help cheer her up we gave her a bottle of real ale- which she's particularly fond of.
It feels lovely to be more generous- I would urge everyone to give an unexpected gift. The joy you get from giving is so unique and delightful.
Acts 20:35
It is more blessed to give than to receive
