Every country or religious tradition has celebration days that include gift exchanges (Christmas, Ramadan/Eid, Hanukkah, Chinese New Year, Diwali, and so forth). In this giving season of Christmas, I have been touched by the remarkable stories of generous people giving gifts as symbols of love in the form of material goods, personal attention, and acts of charity.

Gift-giving is a wonderful endeavor, and my wife and I have tried to give the “gift of giving” in teaching our children, grandchildren, and those we mentor to discover the joy of giving to others. We do this by giving them resources that they can then share with others.

Being able to give is a delight.

But I wonder if I am also a receptive receiver?
