Today I begin a new regular feature on this blog: “Monday Inspiration.” My colleague Jeff Herring, who used to run a regular feature called “Sunday Inspiration,” encouraged me to introduce this feature and to follow his lead. I believe giving lies at the crux of receiving. However, many people get stuck “giving to get.” That’s …
Christmas offers those who celebrate the holiday, as well as those who don’t, an opportunity to take a deeper look at the meaning behind acts of giving and receiving.
