A gift is something that you give to someone either as a surprise or as a promise that you need to keep.
I have been gifting my friends and family, sometimes during a child dedication, weddings, and birthdays.
Sometimes just to make the person happy, not necessarily that this person has done anything nice for you.
But out of the abundance of your heart, you just want to put a smile on people's faces; it could be food, clothes, wristwatches, and so many other things.
There are two persons that I gifted, and their expression leaves a lasting joy on my face. Each time I remember the joy of their faces, they jump, and the music they compose instantly.
How they appreciated the gift, I will just be smiling to myself.
I went on a holiday to visit my grandma, to sit out with her and make her happy. On getting there she was sick, very sick.
The 4 days' holiday that I planned to spend turned into one month. I couldn't leave her as she was too weak to be left behind alone. My cousin who was with her traveled; she was supposed to come back before I left, but she remained there for a month.
After she got well, I left her and traveled back, but something kept bothering me. She was complaining that she needed a particular wrapper, and she couldn't tell any of us.
As we have spent money on her health I don't even have a job. She prayed for me. I didn't promise her the wrapper but I took a sample of it.
During the Christmas period, I bought the wrapper cause that's when it would be needed in their church. As I got to the house, first I didn't tell her I was coming, 'cause I planned on surprising her, anyway.
So when I got home, she was surprised, and she hugged me and asked if everything was fine as I didn't tell her I was coming. She quickly made food for me.
After the whole meal, as we were discussing, I indirectly asked her if she had gotten the wrapper, and she said that she had removed her mind from it.
I said ok, I stood up, went inside, and brought the wrapper I kept inside. I gave her the wrapper, at first, she didn't know what it was, but she thanked me, and I asked her to open it.
As she opened the wrapper, you need to see the way my grandma jumped up with happiness. Then she knelt down, come and see blessings that day.
I won't lie; the kind of happiness she exhibited that Day brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know when I was crying tears of joy too.
For the second person, it was a friend. She wanted to get one digital form like that, because of delayed payment from work. She missed the deadline, and she was crying that it was because they didn't pay them on time, which is why she missed it.
I just consoled her, and I still didn't tell her anything; I just moved away from her and called someone that I knew was in charge, enquiring from the person if there was any way I could get the form; I know it just expired yesterday.
If he can pull some strings, he said ok, but is because of you. I transferred the money to him, and then he got the form and sent everything to me. I used style to collect all my friend's details, telling her that it was for a job I was applying for.

Little did she know it was the form when names came out, the funny thing is that the names came out on her birthday, which was 24 December, a day before Christmas, I didn't want to give it to her as a birthday gift, but it falls that way, so it became a Christmas gift.
I went to her house, and everybody was around, and I told her, I have a surprise for you. I told her to open her laptop and I gave her everything; she was like, what are you up to.
I just lied and said that they said all those who show interest should open their dashboard, which she did, and she was wow. When she saw her name as one of the selected people. I wrote the exams for her
I didn't want to raise her hopes and get them scattered, so that is why I wrote the exam. She hugged me and ran outside screaming for joy. Try and have a good friend, it is important.
That's what she was screaming, they are into poultry, that's how her father killed a chicken that day to celebrate what I did for her daughter. I didn't know it was this important to the whole family. My head was swelling with joy and pride for helping out.
Thank you for taking the time to read

Oh my. That was so sweet! You are a good friend and I can imagine how good it felt to be the center of an act so genuine
Thank you for stopping by
These are huge acts of kindness and I believe the souls you blessed won't forget the awesome things you did for them. I admire your generosity and believe that the almighty God will reward you bountifully.
My grandma have never stopped talking about the wrapper till date. As for my friend, we are inseparable. Thank you for stopping by
I love to give to the needy because most of my family members will not appreciate it, though I am not after the appreciation aspect but giving to the needy always makes me feel fulfilled
Well, I wasn't expecting this appreciation but I loved it
You are a very good person, it is clear that you appreciate your friends very much and that you love them. How lucky I am to have bumped into you, even though I don't know you, but for me it is very nice to bump into people with good hearts in life.
Always know how you are! You are the best!
