Awww, thanks! šŸ™‚ But seriously, what his godparents wanted most of all was some nice photos of the little guy, as we donā€™t live in the same town and donā€™t believe in putting him up on Failbookā€¦ šŸ˜‰

No way my baby inherits her cuteness from her mom too šŸ˜‰

Why not? Perhaps cuteness genes are carried on the X chromosome that a baby inherits from his or her motherā€¦ I really must take this up with my colleagues in the genetics field. :)šŸ‘

The gift of my friendship. Itā€™s the gift that keeps on giving!

I didnā€™t know it was a thing to give them a gift, they usually give my babies giftsā€¦

So maybe a thank you note, otherwise you might start a gift war that never endsā€¦

But seriously, perhaps a handwritten letter detailing the virtues they have that led you to choose them.

Agreed. :yup: Those who go out of their way to ā€˜give or do something specialā€™ can be perceived as being suck-ups.

Thatā€™s meanā€¦when someone gives you a gift, or does something nice, do you always think there is a negative ulterior motive?
If so, itā€™s something to pray about.

Uhā€¦ :confused: :mad: :dts:

I didnā€™t say that gift-givers *are *suck-ups. I said that they can be *perceived *as suck-ups.

Doing something special for others is nice, but wouldnā€™t you feel suspicious if someone made a habit out of it? Or if someone becomes too ā€˜concernedā€™ about it?

As mentioned previously, I am not opposing to gift-giving. See post #9.

Personally, I am a Mother Theresa fan, and please allow me to share a quote:

ā€œWhen you are kind, people will accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anywayā€ā€¦ I think this is a powerful quote.

Yikes, if I lived my life according to how others perceive my actions that would be pretty sad.

And yes, I get it that you are stating that others who are overly kind are perhaps trying to manipulate, but for the most part, I consider my actions, and the actions of those I associate closely with to be genuine. Especially when it involves a Holy Sacrament.
