If someone in your bible study is pregnant, would you give them a small gift when their baby is born?

I would think that it isn't expected by any means but if you like her or if it is just 'you' to give a gift then feel free...but I wouldn't go overboard or she might be uncomfortable with it.  New babies are always a good reason to give gifts and unlike birthdays that come every year they only come once in a while (for most people anyway), so they are kind of a different situation.

Before you or the pregnant person in question takes any type of questionable substance into their body, ask "would i give this directly to an infant/child?"\n\nI don't know that too many people would agree that giving an infant herion, crack, alcohol, cigarettes, pain killers... etc. would be a good idea.

Its the sentiment behind the gift, I would thank that person from the bottom of my heart, and wear the socks. In fact I would love it very much if some one gave me a pair of socks. (I have always been given books and scarves).

This decision is yours and yours alone. Yes, he can be there for the baby without witnessing the whole birth.I think I would feel the same way.its your decision, not, his.

YOU SHOULD PRAY THAT THEIR HEARTS BE SOFTENED TO THE LITTLE ONE OR THAT GOD GIVES YOU THE STRENGTH TO LEAVE. THE BIBLE SAYS "AND THIS I SAY IN CONFIDENCE WHICH WE HAVE IN HIM: THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE LISTENS TO AND HEARS US. AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE LISTENS TO US IN WHATEVER WE ASK, WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE REQUESTS MADE OF HIM" 1 JOHN 5: 14-15........ I ALSO RECOMMEND ROMANS 5: 1-5 (THIS HAS BROUGHT ME THROUGH MANY TOUGH TIMES) ........... I WILL PRAY FOR YOU ALSO AND I HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR THE BEST OF YOU.

I think that they kits you can buy at Target or Wal-Mart where you can impring their hands or feet is alway nice. If you're the God mother a cross or crucifix for his room would be nice and a safe route to go, or to give in addition to one of these other gifts is a savings bond.  Try also getting a nice blanket embroidered with his name on it.

Yes I do.   It is in the Word of God.  Also Jesus, the disciples, as well as, the other apostles did it as well.  It was done as a commissioning of service.   I Timothy 4:14 says do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic messsage when the body of olders laid their hands on you.  Over and over in the New Testaments we are given accounts of the 'laying on of hands'.  Some were healed, delivered and set free.  So if the Bible says it, that settles  it for me.    May God Bless

I would say no.. and I've heard an argument (zealots don't attack me, I've not looked it up, only heard it) that in the bible a man kills a pregnant woman and his sin is killing the woman.. that is his only sin.. not for the death of the child inside her.. which would suggest that in the eyes of God a pregnant woman is one person.

I think that is a really nice idea - besides, that way you know that the person/people receiving it are needy. And you can witness their joy from afar when you know who recieved the gift. What a thoughtful gift.

I was thrilled to learn that my hubby was a virgin.  He saved himself for me and prayed for me before he even knew me!  Expectatons are all over the map these days, so I don't know how to answer that.  It's just a wonderful gift.

No, this is her day. The baby's day will come and right now more than anything else she needs to know that she's as important as this baby so something personal for her alone would be wonderful.

It is called DISCERNMENT! It is a God given gift!

Something that you made yourself is always a good gift for your mom. For your friend, get her a spa treatment for after she has the baby, (and a good babysitter, lol) she will thank you :-)

The birthright was an extremely high honor, typically bestowed upon the firstborn.  Analogy:  If you gave someone a very personal gift...maybe a family heirloom, how would you feel if you saw it tossed into their trash can the next day?   Esau showed that he didn't treasure his family or his God by his actions.

Most people give some type of gift at a baptism, no matter what the age. \n\nA bible, savings bond, money, a chain with a cross, something else sentimental would be my vote for a gift.
