HEALING OUR LIVES

Give a Gift

The gift of listening...
Try giving this to someone in need. And you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your responses. Just listen.

The gift of signs of affection...
Be generous with your appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and gentle squeezes of the hand. Let these tiny actions demonstrate the love inside you.

The gift of a note...
It can be as simple as "I Love You" or as creative as a sonnet to be remembered for a lifetime. Your note may even change a life. Feel free to put your notes where they will surprise your loved ones.

The gift of laughter...
Just cut out a cartoon, save a clever article. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

The gift of a compliment...
A simple "You look good in blue" or "Good supper" can be of greatest value to those who may feel they are being taken for granted. You could make someone's day.

The gift of a favor...
Help with the dishes, run an errand, etc.

The gift of leaving alone...
There are times in our lives when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Become more sensitive to those times and give solitude.

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. Try to be cheerful around those you love.

The gift of a game...
Offer to play your loved one's favorite game. Even if you lose, you'll be a winner.

The gift of prayer...
Pray for your loved ones and let them know you pray for them.
