When you write from that special place and spend time poring over, praying over, going over, and editing the material, by the time the final copy is ready for print, you kind of consider that particular product to be the finished and inspired product.

Many of us are gift givers. For instance, it is not unusual for most of us to tip a waiter at a restaurant; a live singer or band playing at an establishment; the doorman or woman or baggage handlers when checking in or out of hotels; our hairstylists or nail technicians, or most anyone who provides a curtesy or service. Some even extend their giving to panhandlers on sidewalks, in the streets, or on the side of the road.
