Blessed to Bless


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.
