Re-gifting – the practice of giving someone else a gift someone gave you.
I know it’s taboo and in bad taste. But this season, I’ve decided to re-gift. You see, I was given every spiritual blessing and I’ve decided this season (not the Christmas season but this season in my life) to give them all away – to re-gift them to everyone I know and some people I do not know. I am re-gifting:
Joy. Peace. Love. Acceptance. Hope. Forgiveness. Patience. Wisdom. Kindness. Encouragement. Faith.
I’m re-gifting as it was given to me. Lavishly. Abundantly. Generously. I have found that I can’t out give God and the more I give away, the more He gives to me. So I’m breaking Emily Post’s good manners rule and I’m becoming a re-gifter. Anyone want to join me?
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”
