Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words! 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NLT)
Can you help?
I found the perfect gift for someone! I love when that happens! It was expensive, but if she’d put it to use, I believed her life would improve dramatically! I was so excited! I wrote a personal note, wrapped it carefully, and shipped it off. I couldn’t wait to hear her reaction! (Too many exclamation marks? No. It was that perfect!)

But the phone didn’t ring. Days went by without a word.
I was beyond disappointed. I checked the tracking information and, yes, the package had been delivered.

Confused, I resolved “She hasn’t opened it yet.” But who gets a package and doesn’t open it? Were my intentions misunderstood? Perhaps she didn’t see the need or was too busy to try something new.
Eventually, we bumped in to each other. Should I mention the gift? Should I suggest ways to use it or how it might be helpful? It felt awkward. I didn’t want to seem pushy, but I wanted to understand. So I timidly asked if she’d received the package.
“Oh, yes! It was great! Thanks!” as she hurried along.
That’s it? That’s your level of gratitude? This was truly the best thing ever!
How would you feel? What would you do? Please, please, please let me know in the comments or via email.
