Remake of Giving and Love by Karsten Barnes https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844 "It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving." (Mother Teresa) What do you think this quote means? Do you agree with this quote? Why or why not? How do you determine the value of a gift? en-us 2019-05-29 17:51:46 UTC 2019-05-29 18:39:33 UTC hello@padlet.com Graeme Vander Meulen https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435432 What Mother Teresa is saying is that the rich can give much, but the poor may not me able to give any. A rich person can throw cash around like it is nothing if they want to. However, a poor person giving is putting themselves at financial risk. Who willing give a way their meal to someone else and go hungry. Mother Teresa's point is that everyone can give but can you do it willingly. I agree with what she is saying, because she is pretty much saying what the bible is saying(Luke 20:45-21:4). The best gifts are not things but many times people. We are social creatures and no amount of stuff will ever fulfill us. The best gifts are those of love and deed. Not just words and stuff.]]> 2019-05-29 18:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435432 Ian Bogue https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435453 I think this quote means that no matter how large or expensive the gift may be, if it isn't given with love, it means nothing. I do agree with this quote. Taking the example of the three wise men, they brought Jesus very expensive gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense. Although they were expensive, they would have meant nothing had they not given them with love. I determine the value of a gift not just by the price, but the thought that went into it. If you just buy a $25 gift card for somebody, there isn't much thought. But if you search everywhere for the perfect gift, or if you make one yourself, that gift is priceless.]]> 2019-05-29 18:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435453 I think that it means that it does not matter how much you give. Instead it means that a thing is more valuable because people put https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435455 time and effort into it. Like when you get something from your little brother like a cup he made himself it may not be as good as something he could have bought at a store, but it's more value to you because of the thought behind it. I do agree with this quote. I agree because it's special when your loved ones do something for you and put time and care into that thing. I think that an object with care put into it has much more worth than something made by another.]]> 2019-05-29 18:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435455 Madigan Gallegos https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435476 This quote from Mother Teresa is saying that it's not the size or how lavish the gift your giving is, the love and care you put into the gift you're giving is what really matters. The thought behind the gift. I personally do agree with this quote because I'm not an entirely material person. I care more so about love and happiness. The value of a gift can differ from person to person. Though, if you have put thought and love into it, and the gift makes that person truly happy, you've done the job of a gift. Unconditional happiness is the goal of giving a gift.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435476 Charlotte B https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435495 I think that the quote means that it doesn't matter how expensive the gift may cost or how many things we give someone,  what matters is the thought and love that you put into the gift. I agree with this quote because, it means more when you give someone love when they need it and by giving them something meaningful than just giving them a gift that cost a lot of money and a gift that you didn't put any love or thought into. The value of a gift may be different for everyone, but for me,  I  determine  the value of the gift, by seeing all the love and thought they put into the gift.

I would determine the value of someones gift as how much time they took looking for this one thing, how much time did they spend making it. Not so much how much money did they spend. I want time, not money.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435514 Grace Stark https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435551 I agree with this quote because when we put love into what we give, it becomes more meaningful to who or what we are giving to. When someone reluctantly does something for someone, it immediately loses its meaning because this means that the person is most likely selfish or not considerate. I also agree with this quote because giving does not have to be an extreme gesture. For me, it can be something as small as buying my little brother a smoothie or paying for my sister's coffee. This is so important to me because I am not focussing on the tangible gift that I give someone, or the sacrifice, though small, that it takes. Sometimes, I might also give my time so that I can play video games with my brother, comfort when I let my sister ride shotgun instead of me, or effort when I help my parents outside in the yard or in the kitchen. This is also important to my beliefs because in 2 Corinthians 9:7 of the Bible it is stated that "God loves a cheerful giver". This reminds me of the joy that both me and the person I am serving can achieve if I give with love instead of reluctance.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435551 Larissa W https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435565 I think the quote means that the amount of love put into a gift/gesture would mean more than the quantity of it. Yes I agree with this quote, because it feels better to give/help someone with love knowing its something that is meaningful to the other person rather than guessing. I determine the value of a gift by the work/love put into it because, it shows a persons true feelings and intentions.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435565 Ethan Grable https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435574 I agree with this quote. You can give lots of material things, but giving your love is a much greater gift. You can determine the value of a gift, by how much time and thought the person giving put into their gift.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435574 Korbin Villacres https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435592 I think it means that it doesn't matter the size or the value of the gift, what matters more is how much thought was put into it. I have grown up with this quote so I agree with it for sure.  You determine the value of the gift by how much love and effort was put into putting it together. ]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435592 While giving without love is certainly helpful, it means much more to the person you're giving to if you give it with love. I determine the value of a gift by what it means to the one giving me that gift. https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435642 David SErrano]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435642 Isaiah W. https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435663 I think the quote means exactly what it sounds like. It doesn't matter how much the gift costs, it's about how the gift was intended to make you feel. I agree with this quote because I personally would appreciate a gift that was given to me out of love, rather then one that was just given to me just because. I value gifts by the amount of thought put into them.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435663 James Klein https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435674 I think the quote means the gift itself truly doesn't matter, rather it's the intentions behind giving it. I agree with it, I think someone who's more gift-focused rather than focusing on the intentions is less interested in the person giving it, more what they can do for them. I think a gift can be valued by intentions.

I agree with this quote because if a gift is not given out of love and is given out of being stubborn the gift won't be as much appreciated as a gift given out of love. You can determine the value of a gift by how much love is put into the gift.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435690 Elvira Zorchenko https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435736 I agree with this quote because it doesn't just mean that we give a person a gift, we have to show the meaning of the gift like love or some other action. it would be pointless if we don't show any actions to other people when we give then a gift.]]> 2019-05-29 18:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435736 Artur Grinevich https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435834 I agree with this quote.
The quote means that its not how rich the gift may be, but how much love you put into it almost like expecting nothing in return. That's what Jesus did when he died in the cross for our sins, giving this great gift of salvation, and expected nothing from us in return.]]> 2019-05-29 18:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364435834 Mathew https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364436063 I think the quote means to appreciate thing that are givin]]> 2019-05-29 18:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364436063 Bethany Watson https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364436511 I believe that this quote means that even if we don't have a lot, it doesn't matter how much "stuff" you give it matters how much love you give. I agree with this quote because I don't have a lot, but I do have my heart and love that I can share with others. I believe that the way you determine the value of the gift is not by how much money you put into it, but by how much love you put into it.]]> 2019-05-29 18:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364436511 Gabriel Padilla https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364436598 What's important isn't how much you give, but your intentions behind giving it. I agree with this quote, because it doesn't matter how much you give if your motives are impure. The value of a gift is what it means to somebody.]]> 2019-05-29 18:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364436598 Anessah M. https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364437195 It’s means that love and thought is more important than price. Much like the expression “ it’s the thought that counts”. This quote is agreeable. It is something practiced and is true. A child drawing something for her parents, tho not expensive, is more valuable than gold to the parents. To find the value of a gift, you must know why it was given to you. Having been done with love, no matter how grumpy the gifter May usually be, is a true gift.]]> 2019-05-29 18:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364437195 Edan Earhart https://padlet.com/karsten11/rejam85dy844/wish/364437871 I think the quote has a lot of meaning to it i'd have to say I agree with it I wish life had more love to offer as we look at 2019 and so on more and more people seem to have forgotten what love is all about more people look towards getting everything back and gifts seem to be just trades once you don't give the other person the gift they want they don't care about the love you put into it even if it is self made rather than love being everything.

If you give someone a gift as an obligation, and not from love, it doesn't mean as much. I think it means that it doesn't matter what the gift is, but the intent and purpose behind it. Giving should also be because of kindness, and not because other people do it. In church when you tithe, you have to be willing to give because you want to. It only matters if you're a cheerful giver. God knows if you're giving because you feel obliged to. "Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to." -Deuteronomy 15:10
