EIGHT PRICELESS GIFTS

Spring is officially here, despite brief snowstorms and other unexpected "gifts" the weather gives us. Spring is the time for graduations, Confirmations and other celebrations, and these mean invitations, open houses and gifts. I have a suggestion for anyone needing to find "just the right gift."

EIGHT FREE GIFTS THAT ARE PRICELESS

1. The gift of LISTENING... Give this to someone in need. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planned responses - just listen caringly.

2. The gift of AFFECTION... Be generous with your hugs and gentle squeezes. Let your love show.

3. The gift of a NOTE... Whether it's love note or a sonnet on a card, write a note and put it where it will found.

4. The gift of LAUGHTER... Send someone a cartoon or a clever article. Your gift will say, "Let's laugh!"

5. The gift of a COMPLIMENT... "You look nice today" or "Great supper!" can be the best gift to someone today.

6. The gift of a FAVOR... Run an errand, offer a ride, vacuum the floors, or help someone in any way today.

7. The gift of a GOOD CHEER... Be cheerful around those you love. Smile at lots of people today.

8. The gift of PRAYER... Pray for your loved ones and let them know you are praying for them.

"Give, and it shall be given unto you." (Luke 8:38)

It's fun to surprise someone with an unexpected gift!
