Love Is A Gift!

When we give a gift, we pay attention to the receiver.

When we are giving what matters, it must matter to the receiver.
So let us share our Love as the gift it truly is.

Life is for Giving.
You are the Gift.
In giving your Love, you recognize the value of your Gift.
If you give to get Love, it is conditional..

A true gift must be valued by giver and receiver.
When we pay attention to what we are giving, we feel its worth to us.
When we pay attention to what is received, we can see and feel its worth to the recipient.
When we listen to our heart, we know the love we give and receive in the giving.

Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman shows us what to look for in our giving. 
When we are willing to give to others as we want to be given to, we notice what is meaningful.
When we can feel the expectations of the Giver, we may not want to be a recipient.

Pay attention to what will be received most easily.
When people feel empty, angry or hurting, they need our love.
