===Lesson===
 
Tonight, we are wanting to discuss gifts. Think of your life as the gifts you give and the gifts you receive. You are all a combination of this giving dynamic. The law that governs human lives is only concerned with giving. When you give into the world, then you are automatically prepared to receive likewise from the world. The only aspect of this dynamic that you can influence is the giving end. You may experience receiving in different ways in different times and you can consciously facilitate receiving, certainly. But, in actuality, as the universe is constructed, you must first be prepared to give before you can be prepared to receive goodness.

You should all be thankful for those who take with ingratitude, who abrade your pride, those to whom it is hardest to give and for whom it is hardest to bestow love, for they are those who will give you the greatest blessings when you overcome your human tendencies and take up the burden and go the extra mile. This is the end of this lesson for tonight. Shall we have a brief discussion period concerning this lesson beginning with Rebecca.

===Dialogue===
 
Q: Well, we have had a house guest that has kind of presumed on our hospitality and so I been thinking we should tell him this or that or whatever. I feel terrible. I guess it is always our first instinct is to defend yourself, or your stuff, or you money.
