EIGHT GIFTS THAT DON’T COST A CENT!
The Gift of Listening But you must really listen. Don’t interrupt, don’t daydream, don’t plan your response. Just really listen.
The Gift of Affection Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
The Gift of Laughter Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.”
The Gift of Solitude There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
The Gift of a Favor Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
The Gift of a Written Note It can be a simple, “Thanks for the help” note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime.
The Gift of a Compliment A simple and sincere, “You look great in red,” “You did a super job,” or “That was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day.
The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone.
For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
