Giving Is Receiving

Yesterday, which was Christmas eve, my family had a Christmas Eve Dinner with my father's side relatives. As usual there was the food and the cheerful faces. This Christmas Eve Dinner was started by my father a few years ago and ever since, it has become a tradition. Sadly, some of my relatives are not Christians. So, every year my family and sometimes my father's Christian sister(s) will think of some activity that will touch our non-Christian relatives' hearts. Of course, all this won't work unless we pray, too. This year, my father planned the dinner with is sister's help. He planned to show a slideshow of all the generations starting from his great-great-grandparents until the youngest cousin to make them think about the old days and where would they be going after they died (I think). So, during the days leading to the dinner, he had been scaning photo albums borrowed from his sister. On the day itself, it turned out to be a good presentation. He told a "three-point message": God loves, God gives and God forgives. And some carolling.

If you had read the earlier posts, you would know about my "over-genorousity". Well, I manage to give out all my gifts and got some gifts back. But what suprised me was that I felt good about it. God really has a unique way of saying, "Keep it up!". So, giving is receiving, think about it.
