Many gifts were received and many were given. Every gift I received was from an individual that I had some type of relationship with. Although this isn't always the case a very large majority of the time it is.

From the beginning we see that the Word expressed the self: “Let there be” and there was. The worlds were framed by the word of God it was not just the results of word, but of the word expressed.
