The first gift we ever received was a gift no-one had to buy It was the gift of life… Have you ever wondered why? Why was I given this gift? How did I come to be? and what did the giver of this gift…have in mind for me? This gift was also given to the mountains and the seas to the animals to the rivers to the flowers and the trees. This gift was given freely asking for nothing in return So what are we to understand from this? What are we to learn? Since we all received the same gift perhaps the giver wanted us to see how we are all connected and meant to live in harmony. Since one moment we are not here and the next moment we are living… perhaps the giver wanted us to see a gift is in the giving And perhaps by giving a gift we never asked for the giver of life suggested the best gift we can ever give is a gift that’s un-requested.
