One of my office coworker met with a very freak accident and had to be hospitalized. He called me every now and then from the hospital bed and I always wondered how he would crib about the fact that how fate has been cruel to him.

Tomorrow is the day when I am going to meet him and that I was wondering what I will get for him as the get well soon card and how that card should convey the real meaning and that is the fact that yes fate has been cruel to him however there are things which are beyond our control.

While searching on the internet I chanced upon the “Serenity Prayer” and that left me absolutely zapped and speechless. It is very very powerful and it also has the power to heal you in a way that you can easily accept the fate as well as it gives you that very meaning of life.

Serenity means calmness and this gift I think has that special effect which in general will not be there in any other gifts especially if you have someone who is recovering.

Here is the complete Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

Talking this sinful world as it is. Not as I would have it;

Trusting that you will make all things right if I surrender to your will,

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life. And supremely happy with you forever in the next. Amen.

It is not that these serenity prayer gifts are limited to only Christians but these gifts can be given to anybody who is not also a Christians. As the serenity prayers are nothing but a guiding mantra or some kind of motivation which make the human being of any religion to face all walks of life in a positive way.

The serenity prayer gifts which when you gift will reveal the other about your values and philosophies in life. This will show how modest and simple you face the life and will make everyone to follow the same. Thus the serenity prayer gifts are the symbol of some kind which encourages everyone to lead a life in the right path.

I gave my friend a nice looking Serenity prayer poster which I got from Zazzle however there are other gifts which you can also give like the

Gold Locket or the Sterling silver locket

Serenity prayer fountain or the Sterling bracelet

I will detail in my next post as to how to make the gifts especially posters and all from Zazzle.com

The Simple meaning of Gift and Its Significance

A simple definition of gift that I read was something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation Well It costs money and that means you also need to look for cheap and cost effective goods. Well somebody told me that cheap is not a good word and henceforth I will write cheap as “economical” . That is some word for you and me

The other definition is a talent, endowment or aptitude as in the gift of gab or the gifted writer or the gifted blogger : –)

That said I will cover all sorts of occasions in no particular order and will be based on solely my thinking about gifts and the way they should be given and received. Yes that is important to too . Not everyone is a good gift receiver. So start preparing to become a good gift receiver.

New York Magazine I read that meaning of the same gift can be different for a different person.

Same gift for your boyfriend will mean I love you whereas to you grandma will be sorry I have not called in ages.

So gifts is all about interpretations and the way someone receives it.

What is a favor and what does a favor signify

Favor in a bad sense can be excessive partiality or in a good sense can be harmless act of help or a gesture.

In a typical party scenario a favor is something which is defined as

“a small gift or decorative or festive item, as a noisemaker or paper hat, often distributed to guests at a party”

This favor is a small gift that you give to guests as a token of appreciation as well as a token of wellbeing and the favor can be anything beginning from a wedding favor to the birthday favor to a bachelorette party favor.

So sit back be my guests and I will explain to you everything that is there about gifts and the various amazing kind of gifts.
