Our culture can often make being a receiver feel like an uncomfortable experience, so we look at various parts in the Bible that talk about receiving gifts in a godly and thankful way, and what to do when we don't find ourselves naturally having that attitude!
There are a few scriptures that Annie reads:
1) Ecclesiastes 5:2
Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.
2) Annie references Psalm 39:4-5 when talking about how short our days are:
Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
even those who seem secure.
3) Annie reads from Luke 7:36-50 when talking about Jesus interacting with the woman who poured perfume on his feet.
