Spiritual Gift - Giving
Earthly ExampleThis one is pretty easy. It is the opposite of being selfish. Stores sometimes give out some of their food that is about to go bad to different food pantries that help out poor people. Some kids will give one of their toys away to a friend or their lunch away to someone who forgot theirs.

Spiritual ExplanationThe gift of giving is having a strong desire to give and give and give the things you have to whoever God tells you to give them to or whoever you feel you should give them to. It could be giving time, money, or things.

Biblical Example41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much. 42 A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin. 43 He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury, 44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.” (Mark 12:41-44 WEB)
