The Giving Season

In this season of giving the most important thing we should remember is to give from the heart.  

It doesn't matter what is wrapped up, what it is wrapped up in, the size or shape,  nor the monetary value of it.  What is important is the desire to bring joy to the receiver of our gift. The added bonus to bringing someone joy is to feel joyful yourself.  Giving -  true giving -promotes happiness for the receiver and the giver. 

Gifts given with the heart do not think of "what's in it for me?, what will I get in return?, how will I benefit from this?".  If that is your thinking then just don't bother.  

Gifts from the heart are remembered and treasured no matter what they are for the love given in your gift remains in the heart of the receiver.

As you wrap your gifts in this giving season be mindful to wrap a piece of your heart along with them.
