WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GIVING GIFTS?

Faith

Gift-giving is a common topic as each year comes to a close. As people prepare to see loved ones or friends throughout the holidays, they often look for something special to give. It's more than a habit ingrained by corporate commercialism and marketing, though, and many seniors likely have fond memories of both giving and receiving presents during this festive season. Still, it's important for people of faith to remember the reason behind the season and why we give gifts to begin with.
