RE: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." #LightTheWorld day 4

Greta great initiatives being spoken of here. I love all the wonderful ideas being given in the posts, and by the comment givers too.
But the add to them, I'll like to say that the manner of presentation is also very important.

From the scripture, we could see that

They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts - Matthew 2 vs 11

The magi got their presentation right. They didn’t just send their gifts Camel Express or leave them on the doorstep. They intensified the effect of their gifts by how they presented them.

I believe it would be something to imitate the magi in that respect this Christmas. I believe it would be something if we didn’t just toss our gifts at one another but took care to lovingly and thoughtfully present them, telling each other, “I pray you like it; I chose it just for you, because I want nothing more than for you to feel loved and valued this Christmas.”

I pray God gives us the wisdom to make our giving experience a life saver this Christmas. Amen
