Interesting choice of words since it was the good doctor who penned both.

The bread, fish, egg are items of daily sustenance and a child that asks has full trust in his father that they are good - not tainted, and not harmful.

exactly....which to me makes it different than a "gift". I don't view "gifts" as being things of daily sustenance.

I am not making a statement that we should or should not ask God for the Holy Sprit...just that if we are dissecting verbage then it gets a little more complicated then simply blab it and grab it.
