Gifts
(Southern Etiquette or life in Dixie)
What are gifts? It seems that most people think of them as some sort of free stuff that they deserve! Some even think it is another right in life! So what is the real story?

A gift by its very nature is an expression of love or at least some form of affection or admiration or respect!
An actual gift can be may one of many things:
It can be as simple as a smile, or a nod of the head, or a wave of the hand...
It can be any expression of gratitude or thanks for someone's help or considerations...
It can be the remembrance of some person's accomplishments in life...
It can be a gesture of gratitude to someone for their past help...
It can be a way to get someone's attention or to show them that you care...
It can be just because they were there...
It can be a sign of dutiful respect and maybe even admiration...
It can be because it seemed to be the right thing to...
Gifts are varied and many in type and number...
Gifts are unlimited in scope and will of the giver...
Gifts are one of the better things in this life!
A gift is always at the discretion of the giver!
A gift is one of the most important social things a human can do for another!
We need to all understand that gifts should not be given in the expectation of some personal gain or favor!
Which is where so many people have played the giving game... The what is in it for me?
We should all come to understand that this is not the true meaning of a gift!
God has been the instigator of gift giving!
A gift is always Given; never as a form of any special receipt or for future expectation!
