Five Minute Friday: "From."


This prompt made me think of "to and from" labels on presents.  Funny to have gifts and presents come to mind.  Pastor Gelinas has started a series on ministry and spiritual gifts (If you're interested in viewing/hearing it, go to https://subsplash.com/+e3c1/lb/mi/+3ypdzrv?branding=true&embed=true&recentRoute=app.web-app.library.list&recentRouteSlug=%2Bn4y8xst ).

I do believe that God has given me gifts to share with others.  What I wonder is who can I put in the "to" column.  As I've said before, will someone accept a good gift if it's wrapped in an ugly box or in wrappings that don't appeal to them?  I know who the gifts are "from." James 1:17 (NIV) says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." Again, how do I wrap them properly?

Is there a bodily equivalent of a gift bag?  Gift bags are wonderful for those of us who don't wrap presents very well.  some tissue paper, a bow, and a lovely card makes a beautiful present.  How do I do that to myself? 

Anybody got any ideas?
