A prominent person who is a big fund-raiser asked a provocative question of his good friend who is also prominent I quote " You're a big fund-raiser, what's the biggest gift ever?" the man answered "a 5 million donation", his friend replied "Ok I'll give 10 million" a ten million peso is an unusually large gift in Philippine money so his donation received applause and attention after all its the largest donation recorded in that fund-raise. OR WAS IT? For me as a person with a belief my most valuable gift ever is God's gift of His one and only son to a sinful world And as a person being a mother my greatest gift is my child. HOW ABOUT YOU? HAVE RECEIVED THE MOST VALUABLE GIFT EVER?

i think the most valuable gift ever i received was this job i have now. It was given to me days before my birtday. This job gives me the salary to feed my family and send my children to school. In short it gave a sense of security , of pride, of happiness, of everything because without the job, i will feel useless and i cannot afford all that i have now , even my self worth as an individual. So till now i always say my prayer of thanks to God for this gift.

the most valuable gift ever is the one that couldn't be bought. Like time, love, trust, honesty, etc. But of all them love is the most valuable of all, because through love there comes trust, care, honesty, time, etc. Without love all things are just senseless. God bless (",)

I'd heard Bill Gates and other 39 Billionaires will donate half of their money to charity. Well if I got it then it will be the most valuable gift ever. But for now the most valuable gift I'd got was a small cake. I got it from a friend, who almost everyone forgot my birthday except her. She bought me a cake as small as a small plate or "platito".

My valuable gift was getting my brand new laptop. I couldn't wait to open it up and start browsing the web. The most valuable gift ever a person has is their child whether they know it or not. Even though I don't have kids of my own, hopefully my day will come soon to cherish every moment of knowing I have someone whos a great big part of me. This gift here cannot be replaced for nothing in the world to me.

For me the gift of life is the most valuable gift I ever had. So valuable that I can't just throw it all away. I'm still thankful to have received it, as you have to be too. =))

EDUCATIONS is the greatest can ever had, from our parents or guardians. Money or other things can not last longer, educations can last a life time. If its totally really valuable gift, then use it wisely, because others can't have it.

For me the greatest gift I have ever received was the love and friendship of many people. The joy of being alive really becomes whole when you are appreciated for being the person you are, when you are accepted by others as a true friend and not just a passing acquaintance or whim.

The most valuable gift I can consider is TIME. Time to be with me on every special occasion I celebrate.

The most valuable gift that I have received would have to be having so many friends I think that is very great for me because I am grateful for getting to meet all my friends. They have made me the person that I am today I used to be very shy and did not like to talk much, but when I am with my friends I feel like I can do anything.We all have gotten some gift that is of great value to us even though to others it may not seem to be that great, but to us our valuable gift means a lot.Love your discussion I really enjoyed responding on here because it got me thinking about my valuable gift. ANIME123 is out happy mylotting everyone.

I have to say that many of the gifts the other responders as well as you have received age valuable indeed. I have the gift of Gods love, the gift of a beautiful and healthy daughter and grand daughter, the gift of long lasting friendships, and the gift of life. But i think that my most valuable God given gift is the gift of reasoning. One man's treasure is another man's garbage right? We are all blessed with some type of gift, what we do with these gifts is what makes them valuable.

The greatest gift I had is the gift of Salvation and the assurance of having eternal life...It is when the world is living in sin...God sent His only Son Jesus Christ as a ransom to many..not wanting anyone to perish but to have come to repentance and be save...to Him all the Glory and Praises and Honor forever and ever.

Yes I have to agree that it is the most valuable gift to mankind. For me just loving someone and receiving back the love you have bestowed is already a great gift for me that I want to receive. if someone is caring a lot for you then you are a very lucky person. It will depend upon our perception of what a great or greatest gift is. But for me it is just a simple one. Love!

I already have my best gift ever. That's my life. I'm always thankful of being alive. I always try to thank God for giving me this life even though it's filled with downfalls and what not. It's still the best thing a human can have.

Though I still believe Jesus is God's greatest and most valuable gift ever, another most valuable gift I have received from God is a life-long's wish. When I was still very young. My parents and I often pray to have a baby brother whom I could take care with. I never thought God will grant that wish. He gave me a chance to nurture a life. That was indeed awesome! :D
