Receiving With Grace

In the last two weeks I have spoken about giving, but to keep the flow going you also need to receive gifts. And because of this it is important to receive with grace.

Unfortunately some people are not sure how to do this. This may be due to poor self-esteem, which is a whole other topic, or have just never learnt how to accept a gift.

When given a compliment how many of us say something like "Oh, this old thing" or "I got it cheap in a sale"? Have you ever given a compliment and had it rejected in this way? How has this made you feel? If the person has gone to the effort of saying something nice then the least we can do is accept the compliment and just say "Thank you".

Whatever you are given - receive with grace. Remember, to continue the flow of giving and receiving you must receive.
