The Best Gift

Is there such think as best gift? I’m sure if there was one best gift out there, people wouldn’t bother changing the gift every time there is a need to give one. Rather, it would be keen to say that occasion makes the best gift. How would you like getting a gift of a 42” flat screen TV before the college basketball season when you already have two in your house as compared to getting a vacation package when you have been saving eventually some money to go relax in Hawaii or New Zealand for a week or two after months of busy work schedule? To make matter worse, how about receiving a size 8 shoe when your actually wear size 10? This was exactly the case with one pastor who received a gift of shoe he could not use because he wears bigger size than the one that was given to him. To address the issue, the pastor jokingly advised the congregation that if anyone was going to give him a gift of shoes, to kindly request for his size to avoid disappointing anyone. In this case, the best scenario we could have hoped for is for the pastor to be given the receipt or to return the gift to be exchange with the correct size; otherwise, the gift loses its value.
