Dis verstommend hoe mense van een winskopie na die ander skarrel. <\/p>\n<p>Geskenke is elke jaar \u2019n kopseer vir talle mense. Om die regte, geskikte geskenk te soek wat ook nog by die begroting pas, is uitdagend. <span>Ek hoor gereeld in geselskap hoe ouers praat van die groooot en duuuur present wat hule vir die kinders gaan koop. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Natuurlik is dit vir elke mens wonderlik om \u2019n present te kry! Dit behoort eintlik lekkerder te wees om iets te g\u00e9\u00e9, as te ontvang. Die ding is nou net dat mense dikwels \u2019n verwagting het van \u2019n geskenk, en sukkel dan om die teleurstelling te verbloem. Dis nou hier waar ons ons kinders kan leer hoe om bedagsaam te wees en \u2019n geskenk met dankbaarheid te ontvang \u2013 al is dit w\u00e1t. <\/p>\n<p>Die prys en grootte van \u2019n geskenk kan beslis nie \u2019n aanduiding wees van iemand se liefde of agting nie. <\/p>\n<p>Ek het een keer by \u2019n kersmark \u2019n koeponboekie gekoop. Elke koepon het \u2019n \u2018diens\u2019 of \u2018guns\u2019 opgehad. Die ontvanger van die koeponboekie kan dan enige tyd van die koepons aan die gewer gee in ruil vir die diens of guns daarop. Dit wissel van sterre kyk op \u2019n kombers, ontbyt in die bed, \u2019n voetmassering, tot om die kinders op te pas vir \u2019n middag, saam te gaan fliek of onverdeelde aandag vir \u2019n kwartier. <\/p>\n<p>Niks hiervan kos geld nie. Net tyd, wat kosbaar is. Eintlik onbetaalbaar duur is. <\/p>\n<p>Sal dit nie wonderlik wees as ons di\u00e9 Kersfees vir mekaar eerder tyd gee nie! So \u2019n koeponboekie met beloftes wat jy onderneem om na te kom. Ek kan dink hoe kinders se boekie kan lyk: speel saam met my bal, swem saam in die see, kuier by ouma, lees \u2019n storie, kyk saam \u2019n fliek\u2026..Ons kinders wil so graag ons tyd h\u00ea. <\/p>\n<p>Dis ook waar dat kinders, en grootmense, meestal vergeet wat hulle as geskenke gekry het. Maar hulle onthou die samesyn, die saam eet en grappies en geselligheid, speel met neefs en niggies, en partytjies se musiek. Die onvoorwaardelike aanvaarding van almal saam. <\/p>\n<p>In die boek <span>Tuesdays with Morrie<\/span> skryf Mitch Albom hoe hy weekliks di\u00e9 siek professor besoek en van sy wyshede. Morrie s\u00ea: <span>\u201cGiving to other people is what makes me feel alive. When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad, it is as close to healthy I will ever feel! Offer others what you have to give. I don\u2019t mean money, but your concern, your storytelling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Morrie noem voorbeelde van kaartspeel saam met \u2019n eensame persoon, om bejaardes te help om \u2019n nuwe selfoon of rekenaar baas te raak of vir \u2019n siek persoon te gaan inkopies te doen. <\/p>\n<p>Hiervoor het jy nie groot talent of geld nodig nie. Net jou tyd. En \u2019n oop hart. <span>\u201cGiving to other people is what makes me feel alive,\u201d<\/span> s\u00ea Morrie.<\/p>\n<p>Probeer dit! Maak \u2019n koeponboekie. Dit gaan sommer baie langer as net Kersdag plesier bring. Geskenke uit die hart kan nie gestrik word nie. Jy sal oorweldig wees met wat terugkom na jou toe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swart Vrydag het die inkopielus behoorlik losgemaak vir die vakansie- en kersseisoen.
