Today's homily focused on the concept of giving gifts. Gifts should be given without the expectation of something in return; otherwise, they're not gifts, but payment. God's gifts for us are given without any strings attached. They are ours to use or squander; although, like any gift-giver, God hopes to see us use the gifts that we are given rather than just tuck them away somewhere, neglected and forgotten.
For my birthday today, the greatest gift was having my children all here. I really couldn't ask for anything better. Although tired, I had an enjoyable birthday. The movies were entertaining (especially with audience commentary), the food was tasty (perhaps too much so), and the company was enjoyable.
I could not wish for better.
