BA... I got the same reading fromt eh gift that you did. I waas actually thinking it before I read your post.
If two people could get the same meaning...imagine what your W felt!!! Giving it all up to God implies just that. It's ewasy to day the words but it's pretty hard to feel the feelings. I struggle with this too. It was very hard but absilutely necessary to realy and truly believe that I don't know the answer to the question. Some days it's easier than others. If you had truly given teh gift without any other motivation than giving...her response would not have angered you. You would have understood it and let it bother you. If you had truly given it up, there would have been no message other than I was thinking of you...because that is all it really would have been.
It's really hard to let it go...give it up...you truly need to do it in order to move.
