Eight Gifts That Do Not Cost A Cent . . .

 1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING . . .

But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.





2) 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.





3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER . . .

Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."





4) 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, and may even change a life.





5) 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.





6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR . . .

Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.





7) 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.





8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION . .

 .

The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us . . .

STORY WITH MORAL

 

Things Aren't Always What They Seem

Author Unknown

This puts life into perspective...

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied ..."Things aren't always what they seem".

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel "how could you have let this happen!? The first man had everything, yet you helped him," she accused. "The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let their cow die."

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave her the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem." Sometimes this is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later.

Think about this:

Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight; Just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

Should you find yourself stuck in traffic; don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for the last three months.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, for ?15.00 to feed her family.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking "what is my purpose"; Be thankful, there are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be them!
