Gifts

Random thoughts and sporadic epiphanies.

A gift, is considered a gift simply because it is given.
A gift, is given, when it is intended, with full knowledge.
A gift, is intended to be of benefit and goodness.
A gift, is to be valued, appreciated and treasured.
A gift, is sincere.

And what do we do when we receive gifts?

We say "Thank You."

If we do not know how to use the gift, we learn, because appreciation is not the same as value.
Appreciation is liking something for what it seems, and being thankful for its mere receipt or appearance.
Value comes from knowing what it means, what it is intended for, and learning how to use it as intended.
