What. . . .

Do you do with a gift you don't want to use? Give it to someone else - the imfamous 're-gift' ? Maybe give it to charity, like Justice For All? Or maybe stick it in a closet somewhere, and forget about it till who-knows-when.

But, what if you can't give it away? You're stuck with this 'gift.' We all have them. The good Lord has given us all something.

Most people like to share gifts, I think. But, if you're like me, sometimes sharing gets tiresome. When do I share this gift? Some may reject me. I certainly don't want that. Although I can't say I've been rejected by too many, I still hate it. And the crazy thing is, I have to force myself not to focus on that; the smallest bit of the pie.

So, this gift..... - which I don't even know what to call it somedays - if it is meant to be shared, why am I reluctant, in certain situations, to share it?

I'm just like the next person. I want to be loved. I need people...perhaps too much. And that need - too often - overshadows my responsibility to follow God's way.
