Giving and Loving? I received a mother's day gift from my 1 week after the date, that is because she wanted to give me something she knew I will really like but she did not have enough money on mother's day. Then there was a post mother's day sale and the item she gave me was on sale so she bought it because she knew I like it , albeit one week late. To me that was a very special, not because of the price , it was pretty cheap, but because of the effort she put into it, Because she remembered that I like it , so she made conscious effort to please me, to make me happy, to give e what I want the best way she can. She could have given me a card and I will be happy just the same and mother's day will be done and over with but no she made it even more special. That's what made the gift very special. There are different ways and reasons for giving. Sometimes we give away something because we don't like it or we have an excess of what we need. To me that is not really giving it's just decluttering. Other's give because they want something in return, that is not giving but can be swapping , luring or even bribing. Some give to the needy and in doing so makes you feel good and look good, that is charity. Lovers give to their love ones when there is an occasion, that is thoughtfulness. When you see something as you pass by that suddenly reminded you of your love one and wanted to get that something for them because you believe they like it or will make them happy that is giving because of love. There's no need for a reason or occasion to give something. It doesn't have to be an expensive thing what matters is the thought of giving. If you can't afford a dozen roses one rose will have the same effect. We don't need an occasion to send a card if you can't afford one or none available just give a note or a text message. That is giving too, giving importance and giving time. People do not really remember what you gave or did but remember how you made them feel. What kind of giver are you? Do you you give only on occasion? Do you give what you like? Do you give out of love? Do you give to charity generously? By the way name is charity.   ]“Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

Let's not put a price on giving. It's the intention that gives value to it. I'm a senior citizen . Don't expect me to remember anything

Ta Jane that's the joys and sacrifices of parenthood. There is joy in giving, so as parents we don't normally expect anything in return but there is much happiness if it is appreciated or reciprocated. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

Giving generally is an act of kindness to me. If you put a price tag on it, even thinking of receiving something in return, then the whole concept of giving abruptly changes. Giving usually comes from the heart, then works through the mind. just my 2 cents. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”
