\"gift\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you just love to see all the beautifully wrapped presents under the Christmas tree? Or how about the ones you receive for your birthday? Some people are masters at creating the most beautiful packages, aren\u2019t they? When you see a gift, beautifully wrapped and decorated, does it benefit you? As long as it is sitting on a table or under the Christmas tree, you can\u2019t derive any benefits or pleasure from it\u2026other than maybe appreciating the wrappings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing you must do is to accept the gift. You can\u2019t stop there!! You must open it to find out what is inside and then use the gift you have been given. As excited as I would get about getting a gift, I still can\u2019t enjoy or appreciate it until I accept it, open it and use it. Larry knows that I love jewelry and you better believe I open my gifts and wear them right away (jewelry or clothes), spritz them (perfume), read them (books)\u2026you get the idea. Those gifts don\u2019t do me any good if I store them in the closet.<\/p>\n
