A space offered as gift: a place not for sale; something we want to offer, but something in turn offered to us. The gift that truly blesses is the gift that shows I am known, thought about and cared for. It may not be what I had asked for, not on my 'Christmas list', not bought as an afterthought like flowers from a petrol station. In a true gift, the giver gives something of themselves, and in a sense, they are the gift. |
