EIGHT GIFTS THAT DON'T COST A CENT

THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION:

The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind cheery word to someone. It's really not so hard to say, "Hello" or "Thank you."

THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT:

You can really brighten someone's day with a simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "That was a terrific dinner," or "You did a super job."

THE GIFT OF LISTENING:

To be a good listener you must REALLY listen. Let the other person speak with no interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response...just listening!

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:

Share your laughter and humor by clipping cartoons, jokes, articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you!"

THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE:

You can send someone a simple note that says, "Thanks for the help," or a poem, story, or any kind of upbeat message. The most brief, handwritten note can be remembered for a lifetime, and even change a life, you just never know.

THE GIFT OF A FAVOR:

Every day, go out of your way to do something kind for someone else. There are plenty of opportunities for you to do something nice for a friend, relative, or co-worker on a daily basis. Show the love of Christ with your acts of kindness to others. Let them see Jesus in you.

THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE:

There a times when we all want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
