You Know That She Has Got To Be Mad, Right!?!
I'm Not So Sure About That, Pilly!
What About You, Erwin!?!
I'm Not Going To Commit To Any Pronouncement About Her Sanity Because She Always Has A Good Reason For Her Unusual Assignments!
Come Now! Do You Actually Think That It Is A Sane Move For Her To Ask Us To Bring Her The Most Expensive Gift That We Can Afford To Give, And To Keep The Receipt So That We Can Return It IF She Doesn't Like It!?!
Yes, Kareena, I Do! She's Up To Something! She Is Always Up To Something!
But What About Her Having Always Said That Giving A Gift Should Never Be About Price!?!
You Have A Point, Penny, So Her Stressing "Most Expensive" Means Something Other Than The Obvious!
You're Right, Erwin! Look, I'll See You All Tomorrow! Don't Forget That She Said Not To Wrap Your Gift!
There You Have It, My Friends! Another Clue Plain As Day!
You Ain't Lie!
ONE DAY LATER ...
The Atmosphere In The Class Was Depressing Since Not One Gift Had Met Sis. Sobi's Exacting Standard To Be Called The Most Expensive Gift!
Electric Micey Is The Last Person Presenting, And She Has Nothing In Her Hand!
Sadie, You See That Move By Tricky-Mic!?!
She Must Have Figured Out The Puzzle, Or She Has Resigned Herself To A Full-On "F" For Not Trying, Hadia! Look At Sis. Sobi's Face!
Sis. Sobi,
The Lord Gave Unto Us The Gift Of The Holy Spirit: This Gift Is A Kindness!
The Holy Spirit Is The Good And Perfect Gift!
In Our Sojourn In This Vale Of Tears, As Ambassadors For Christ, As Workers In The Vineyards And Fields Of The Master, We Are Called To Bless Our Fellow Sojourners With The Goodness, The Kindness Of The Lord In Us Because It Is The Right Thing To Do!
Also, Unfortunately, Because It Will Be The Only Taste Of Heaven Many Of Them Will Ever Experience!
Kindness Has No Cost, Cost-Sharing, Nor Write-Off Possibility!
Kindness Uplifts, Helps, Heals, And Hands One Another Opportunity To Choose Christ As Their Everlasting Portion So That They Will See True Life, The Eternal Kindness Of Happiness In Our Father's Heavenly House Called Home!
Kindness Is The Most Expensive Gift On Earth For Me To Give To Anyone Because It Cost The Father Everything To Give Me His Son, Who Gave Up His Life For Me And, After Rising Up To Life, Then Giving Unto Me The Holy Spirit, My Comforter ... Forever!
I Choose To Freely Give Of That Kindness That I Am Daily Freely, Lovingly Given For In Blessing Another, I, Also, Am Again Blessed!
Kindness Is The Gift That Gives Back! It's The Win-Win Gift!
Thank You, Jesus!
All Eyes Were On Sis. Sobi When She Suddenly Roared:
"Tricky-Mic Wins The Challenge!"
The Class Went Wild!
When Bedlam Departed, Sis. Sobi Spoke Thusly:
My Children, This Is How You Give The Most Expensive Gift That You Can Afford!
You Can't Get Under It, You Can't Get Over It, You Can't Get Around It, And You Can't Cut Through It, But The Recipient Of Your Gift Of A Kindness Can And Will Receive The Needed Strength To Get Through One More Day Of Life Because Of It!
Never, Ever, Permit Anyone To Encourage You To Cease Being Kind When They Call You A Do-Gooder!
That Is High Praise, And It Is Good Currency In Your Book Of Remembrance ... In Heaven!
Bedlam, Of The Goodly Sort, Reentered The Room!
It Is Peace!
