REGIFTING

Regifting has always bothered me. Can someone not put enough thought and effort to purchase or make a gift for someone rather than giving something they don't even want.

This had been my thought on regifting until I had a new perspective. On Jan. 13th after a visit to the oncologist to find out my husband's test results, my thought process changed. His tests were all fine, no changes from three months ago! That's a huge praise to the Lord. It hit me that God had "regifted" my spouse to me all over again. That's the kind of regifting I'm talking about! But when I thought even deeper, I realized that's what each day is....a regift to each of us...to do it better or just differently than the day before...another chance and opportunity to worship our Provider, Healer, Savior, Prince of Peace, Lover of my soul, Sustainer....on and on His attributes go. In fact He regifted to us an opportunity to spend eternity with Him after Adam and Eve sinned through His only Son.

Regifting? I think I love it!!!! What about you?
