?Yu Yu Gat Tingting We i Pusum Yu Blong Givim Presen?
?YU YU luksave se i gat plante defren tingting we oli pusum ol man blong givim presen? Maet wan presen i blong soemaot lav, gladhat, no fasin tangkyu long narafala. ?Be yu yu luk se samtaem wan man i givim presen blong pulum narafala blong laekem hem? No maet hem i givim presen from we hem i harem se hemia wan samting we hem i mas mekem, no from we hem i wantem kasembak wan samting.
Maet presen i stap long wan bokis we oli fasem wetem wan naesfala string. Be i tru se wan gudfala presen i save minim tu sam flaoa, wan plet kakae, no wan samting we yumi mekem long narafala wetem kaen fasin. Yes, presen we ol man oli laekem moa, hemia we yumi spenem taem mo givim paoa blong yumi blong halpem olgeta.
?I Gat Wan Man We Yu Wantem Se i Laekem Yu?
I no rong blong wan man i givim presen long narafala, from we hem i wantem se narafala ya i laekem hem. Long samfala kantri, maet wan yangfala man i karem flaoa i go long woman blong pulum woman ya blong mared wetem hem. Be sipos woman ya i waes, bambae hem i no lukluk ol flaoa ya nomo. Bambae hem i tingbaot sipos tingting we i pusum man ya blong givim presen ya i stanap long lav. Long rod ya, bambae hem i luksave sipos man ya i save kam wan gudfala hasban no no gat. Sipos tingting we i pusum man ya blong givim presen ya hem i sem mak long tingting blong God, bambae tufala ya i save kasem bigfala glad, hemia we i givim presen mo hemia we i kasem presen tu.
Baebol i tokbaot wan taem we Abigel, waef blong Nabal, i mekemrere kwiktaem wan bigfala presen blong givim long Deved. Hem i luksave se Deved i man we God i jusum blong bambae i kam king blong ol man Isrel. Hem i wantem tu se Deved i mekem i gud long hem. Hasban blong hem i no soem respek nating long Deved mo i tok nogud long ol man blong Deved. Deved i lidim 400 man blong faet oli go blong kilim i ded Nabal mo famle blong hem. Kwiktaem nomo, Abigel i traem stretem bisnes ya. Hem i sanem wan presen i go long Deved, hemia fulap kakae blong ol man blong hem. Afta we Abigel i sanem presen ya i go, hem tu i kam. Wetem tingting daon, hem i talem sore from samting we hasban blong hem i bin mekem, mo biaen, hem i soemaot bigfala fasin luksave long toktok blong hem we i mekem Deved i tingtinggud.
Tingting we i pusum hem i stret, mo gudfala frut i kamaot from. Deved i agri long presen blong hem, mo i talem long hem se: “Karem pis i go long haos blong yu. Yu luk, mi mi harem tok blong yu mo bambae mi no save mekem wan samting agensem yu.” Biaen, afta we Nabal i ded, Deved i askem Abigel blong mared wetem hem. Abigel i glad, mo hem i agri.—1 Samuel 25:13-42.
Samtaem, maet wan man i wantem se narafala i brekem loa no i mekem i moagud long hem i bitim we hem i mekem long ol narafala. Long rod ya, man ya i save kasem samting we hem i wantem. Long taem olsem, presen we man ya i givim i olsem wan samting we hem i yusum blong pem narafala blong mekem wan gudfala samting long hem. Man we i givim presen ya i ting se bambae hem i kasem gudfala samting from, be hem i lusum pis long tingting blong hem. Oltaem hem i stap long denja se bambae ol narafala man oli faenemaot samting we hem i bin mekem, mo bambae hem i kasem panis from. Nating sipos man ya i kasem samting we hem i wantem, bambae hem i luk se ol man oli no moa trastem hem from oli ting se tingting we i pusum hem blong mekem ol samting i no stret. Baebol we i soemaot waes blong God, i givim woning agensem ol presen olsem.—Dutronome 16:19; Eklesiastis 7:7.
?Yu Yu Givim Presen Wetem Ful Hat Blong Yu?
Yumi sua long wan samting—taem yu givim presen long wan we yu laekem tumas from we yu wantem mekem olsem, bambae yu kasem moa glad bitim we yu givim presen from we ol narafala oli mekem yu yu harem se yu mas givim.
Aposol Pol i talem sam nambawan rul long saed blong tingting blong God long fasin blong givim, taem ol Kristin bifo oli stap hivimap ol samting blong givim long ol narafala Kristin we oli gat nid long saed long bodi. Hem i raetem se: “Sipos yufala i haremgud, yufala i glad blong givim, bambae God i glad blong tekem presen long ol samting nomo we yufala i gat. Hem i no save tingbaot ol samting we yufala i no gat.” Hem i gohed se: “Nao evri man oli mas givim sam samting, olsem we evri man wanwan oli jusumaot. I nogud man i givim samting long sore nomo, no from we hem i harem olsem we olgeta oli fosem hem. From we God i laekem tumas man we i save givim long gladhat blong hem.” (2 Korin 8:12; 9:7) Taswe, samting ya i dipen fulwan long yu. ?Yu yu skelemgud olsem wanem blong spenem mane blong yu, bitim we yu gat kaon from ol presen? ?Yu yu mekem olsem yu wantem long hat blong yu, bitim we yu harem se yu mas givim samting from we ol narafala man oli mekem olsem, no from we ol bisnesman oli pulum yu blong mekem olsem? Pol i tokbaot ol faswan Kristin we oli folem rul ya blong God, i raetem se: “Olgeta oli stap askem plante taem long mifala, blong mifala i givim jans long olgeta blong oli joen blong givhan long ol Kristin man long Judia.”—2 Korin 8:4.
Defren long samting ya, Royal Bank Letter blong Novemba/Desemba 1994, i tokbaot ol wik bifo Krismas, i talem se: “Krismas i wan taem we ol man oli glad be i no trufala glad. Samting ya i kamaot from fasin blong ol bisnesman blong pulum olgeta blong pem ol samting we, long wan narafala taem, oli no save pem.” Sipos ol man oli mekem kaon blong pem ol presen ya, glad we oli kasem taem oli givim, bambae i lus kwiktaem nomo taem oli mas pem ol kaon ya.
Wanem i Impoten Long Yu—?Taem Ya Blong Givim Presen, No Fasin Blong Soemaot Lav?
?Yu yu faenem se yu stap givim ol presen taem i gat ol spesel lafet nomo, ol taem ya we yu harem se yu mas givim? Sipos i olsem, maet yu no stap kasem glad ya we i save kamaot taem yu givim presen from we yu wantem givim.
I gat plante man we oli no glad long ol samting we oli kamaot from fasin blong givim presen long ol spesel dei nomo. Wan mama we i raetem ol buk, i luksave se fasin griri i kamaot long ol pikinini blong hem, taem dei we oli save se bambae oli kasem presen i kam kolosap. Hem i talem se hem tu i no glad tumas taem i bin kasem wan gudfala presen, from we hem i wantem wan narafala samting. Plante ripot oli talem se ol holide blong mekem lafet mo givim mo kasem presen, oli ol taem we plante man oli harem nogud, mo oli dring alkol bitim mak.
Wan tija we i stadi long tingting blong ol man i luksave se fasin blong givim presen long taem blong holide i save mekem i nogud long ol pikinini. Long The New York Times hem i raetem se: “Traem givim presen long sam narafala dei, olsem wan rod blong mekem wari i godaon.” ?Yu yu ting se bambae gudfala frut i save kamaot from?
Tammy we i gat 12 yia, i stap long wan famle we oli no mekem lafet blong Krismas mo betde. Be hem i raetem se: “I moa gud blong kasem wan presen taem yu no save se bambae yu kasem.” Hem i talem se papa mama blong hem oli no givim presen long hem mo brata blong hem, wan no tu taem nomo long wan yia, be oli givim plante taem long wan yia. I gat wan samting we i moa impoten long hem bitim ol presen ya. Olsem hem i raetem: “Mi stap long wan famle we i hapi tumas.”
Buk ya Secrets of Strong Families i talem klia se: “Plante taem long wan yia, bighaf blong yumi i spenem taem mo mane blong jusum ol presen we oli stret long betde, anivesari, no holide, blong givim long ol man we yumi laekem olgeta tumas. Be presen we i moa gud bitim ol narawan, yu no nidim mane blong pem. Mo yu no nidim blong kavremap wetem naesfala pepa. Sipos yu bilif olsem plante man, se laef blong yu i moa sas bitim ol narafala samting we yu gat, ale nambawan presen we yu save givim, hemia wan smol haf blong laef blong yu. Nambawan presen ya, hemia taem we yumi spenem wetem olgeta we yumi laekem tumas.
Yu save mekem fasin ya blong givim taem blong yu i go moa, bitim we yu stap spenem taem wetem prapa famle blong yu nomo. Fasin blong wantem givhan long narafala taem yu luk se hem i nidim, i save mekem yu yu haremgud tumas. Jisas Kraes i talem long yumi blong soem lav ya long ol puaman, ol man we leg blong olgeta i nogud, mo ol blaenman. Nao hem i gohed i se: “God bambae i mekem i gud long yu, from we olgeta ya oli no save givim jenis long yu bakegen.”—Luk 14:12-14.
I no longtaem, nyuspepa ya Rockland Journal-News (Yunaeted Stet) i tokbaot wan store we i soem fasin ya blong givim presen. Taem haos blong wan olfala woman we i blaen i foldaon, sam fren oli bildim wan nyufala haos blong hem. Plante bisnesman oli givim presen mane, mo lokol gavman tu i givim mane. Nyuspepa ya i talem se: “Be samting we i moa impoten se, ol 150 man no moa, we bighaf blong olgeta oli joen long kongregesen blong ol Wetnes blong Jeova long Havastro, oli givim taem blong olgeta blong bildim haos ya.”
Nyuspepa ya i gohed se: “Long ples we oli bildim haos, ol bigfala hif blong ol samting we oli nidim blong bildim haos oli stap kolosap long ol tebel we oli gat fulap kakae long olgeta. Long tu dei, ol wokman oli bildim wan haos we i naf long tu famle, mo i gat tri store blong hem. . . . Ol man oli save se ol Wetnes blong Jeova oli gat gudhan blong bildim ol haos kwiktaem. . . . Oli bildim haos ya kwiktaem, be wok we oli mekem bambae i stap longtaem: Wetem lav, oli bildim wan haos we i save stanap strong longtaem. Maet Mis Blakely i no save luk nyufala haos blong hem, be ol han blong hem oli save tajem haos ya, mo hem i save olsem wanem wok ya i mekem hem i haremgud tumas long hat blong hem.
Glad Blong Givim Presen Long Ful Yia
Olgeta ya we oli gat trufala fasin blong givim wetem gladhat oli no wet long ol spesel dei blong soemaot fasin ya. Laef blong olgeta i no stanap long fasin blong tingbaot olgeta nomo. Taem oli kasem wan gudfala samting, oli glad blong serem wetem ol narafala. Samting ya i no minim se oli givim presen bitim mak. I no minim se oli givim plante tumas samting we i mekem se famle blong olgeta i sot long sam samting. I no minim se oli givim presen olbaot nomo we oli no tingbaot se man we i kasem presen ya bambae i laekem no i no laekem. Be, oli folem samting we Jisas i talem long ol disaepol blong hem, hemia blong “givim olting blong olgeta long narafala man.”—Luk 6:38.
Oli savegud sipos ol fren mo ol man raonabaot long olgeta oli olfala, oli sik, no sipos oli nidim narafala blong leftemap tingting blong olgeta. Maet “presen” we oli givim i blong go pem ol samting we oli nidim long stoa, no givhan blong mekem wok long haos blong olgeta. Maet oli save katem faeawud blong olgeta no karemaot sno we i blokem rod blong olgeta long koltaem. Maet oli save givim wan plet kakae we oli mekemrere finis, no spenem wan haoa blong visitim olgeta mo ridim wan samting long olgeta. Maet oli bisi long laef blong olgeta be oli no bisi tumas blong givhan long narafala. Long laef blong olgeta oli lanem finis trutok ya se: “Man we i stap givim presen i go, hem i save haremgud moa, i winim man we i stap kasem presen blong hem.”—Ol Wok 20:35.
I tru se Man we i givim moa presen i bitim olgeta narafala man, hemia Jeova God, Man we i wokem yumi. Hem “i stap mekem yumi evriwan i laef, mo hem i stap givim olgeta samting long yumi evriwan.” (Ol Wok 17:25) Mo tu, long Baebol, hem i givim save long yumi long saed long stampa tingting blong hem blong spolem ol rabis fasin, sik, mo ded, mo mekem wol ya i kam wan paradaes. (Ol Sam 37:10, 11; Revelesen 21:4, 5) Taem olgeta we oli gat tingting blong givim plante samting long narafala oli lanem gud nyus ya, oli no holem blong olgeta nomo. Wan bigfala glad we oli gat i blong serem gud nyus ya wetem ol narafala. I tru se oli gat tingting olsem God blong givim presen. ?Hemia nao tingting ya we yu stap traehad blong kasem?
