I discovered that I can get a little uncomfortable when someone gives me a really big gift.  While on vacation in France, my sister made dinner for us almost every night.  Wonderful, marvelous dinners.  She told us before we left home that she wanted to do that for us and it seemed like it would be a real treat.

On the third night, I was feeling a little weird about how much work she was doing and how much I wasn’t doing!  Of course I helped her as much as I could - I followed orders, since I’m not much of a cook myself. It was quite a surprise and I had to give myself a little shake so that I could stay gracious and appreciative.

I remember working with someone who liked to give gifts.  Some were just trinkets while others were larger, and she had a habit of bringing something in every week.  That felt weird, too, because I wasn’t buying her gifts other than birthdays or Christmas.  I finally had to ask her to stop because the it became way too lopsided for me.

What do you think?  Is there a limit to your gifts?
