It is better to give than receive." But it doesn't really matter if we are
giving or receiving. There is an identical feeling associated with both. We
get this feeling every time we receive. We can't control when we receive
gifts but we can control when we give gifts. Therefore, the more we give,
the better we feel. When we are given gifts, or someone does
something for us, it is the Indian way to honor this person.
Great Spirit, let me honor and be respectful to those who are good to me
today.
When a person offers us a gift we often say"That wasn't necessary" or some
shy group of words but we fail to realize the person gifting us is doing it
most likely from their heart. We ust learn to recieve with Honor and give
with Honor. Our ways have always shown us to give and when we think the
giving is done give more. This keeps us from self.
Thank you for showing me how to accept and how to give. Thank you for
showing me the feelings I get when another person is in refusal of my gift
because this in turn tells me I would not want another human to experience
those same inadaquate or insecure feelings when they are gifting me.
