Some of us practice being good givers to hide that we are uncomfortable receiving
Some of us can receive but there is something off about it - our receiving looks and feels more like taking.
Taking is not a super power – receiving is
Taking is one sided, receiving is mutually beneficial.
My grandmother was a good receiver. Receiving was one of her super-powers for sure. She was gracious, appreciative, and kind when she received. If you gave her something she didn’t like, or want or need, you would never know it because she didn’t focus on the gift, she focused on you and your giving. That meant the world to her.
No matter what form it came
No matter if it was the wrong color, or if it was late, or the wrong size, or if it was a conversation all about yourself, or about something she shared no interest in. She could see through the outer to the inner. To her the gift was just a vehicle for your love
So today’s question is how do you and I activate gracious receiving?
First, we have to unpack a few things.
We have to answer a few more questions.
