COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Jesus' birthday is over.  Does it mean that the spirit of gift giving and sharing is over too?  


For (9) nine years of spending Christmas in where i consider as my second hometown, I never missed a year without sharing a bit of my time and money for my children in school and for my beloved........ Late October or Earlier November bonus will be released....
Me, as usual earlier than that date..... always ready with my list of who will be the recipient of my gifts.


This year 2010, I already made my shopping early as November to avoid the rush, the long lines in the cashiers and even the hassle of the traffic... I really love to shop at Gaisano Mall of Davao.  It's in the heart of the city. Everything is in there.  Things were arranged smoothly.  They offer discounts on selected items.  All my gifts were bought in there.  If I am in Davao I never missed to buy Choco Crumble at Zagu matched with popcorn... LOL it's my stress reliever.


Gifts that were bought at my favorite store were personally wrapped by me.  I make it sure  that when I bought something for someone she/he will be happy with it. The main reason why I like to wrapped gifts is because I want them to be happy when they receive it.  


Yesterday, some of the gifts were already given to the recipient.  I even texted our neighbor to claim their children's gift and was touched by his reply.......


"Thank You Maam for being so nice and kind.  May God Bless you more."


I nearly cried.  I realized.... I kept on complaining with co-workers and even with my self, WHY IS IT THAT I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO ALWAYS GIVE GIFTS?  shouting to my self "I CAN ALSO RECEIVE GIFTS"....
arguing with them with the saying.... "it's better to give than to received."
Enlightened with the phrase... Be happy with what you have.  Count all your blessings and don't forget to share it to others for God will bless you more.


Until next Gift Giving....
