John
tells us that "We have received "grace for grace." We first
enjoy the gift, the we share it. We are graced that we might grace all in our
sphere of contact. Re-gifting is said to be tacky. But as Paul says "What
do you have that you have not received?" What gift do we give that was not
given to us. Even when I give myself I am giving what was given to me. Nothing
originates with us, not even ourselves. That's what makes our pride so
laughable. We are all the poor in spirit." Without God's grace, all is
poverty and bafoonery.
