Haha Amanda, I can see you having trouble with receiving. Cool that you realised that though, but now you have a task on your hands to get him back into the habit of giving again.

Yeah Beth, ramming so called good things/gifts down people throats is not a good look. Neither people look good; nor the person who it is happening to and neither the person who is doing the ramming.
Offering a gift without attachment or expecting a return… difficult. I start to see how God must feel….. frustrated to say the least. However he doesn’t have to knock our heads together , we do that ourselves very well…..

Thanks so much Wilma for opening my eyes. I am really bad at recieveing and would much prefer to give. In fact my husband does get annoyed with me and sometimes doesn’t even bother to offer now. I can now see why. I am going to make sure I observe myself closely and practise my receiveing.

Yeah ! Not receiving is hardest for me to accept when I am being so sure that what I give is worthwhile.
However, I do have to recognise (often!) that my gifts may not be all that appropriate to acknowledge at the very moment or even perhaps the way such is offered…
U 2 both make the old girl begin to think..! Best of everything with your marathons, because they make hard to see things appear more confrontable…
Bestest ! Beth.
