1. The gift of listening–Why not give this valuable
\ngift to someone who lives alone? And you must really
\nlisten. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your
\nresponses. Just listen.<\/p>\n
2. The gift of signs of affection–Be generous with
\nyour hugs, kisses, and gentle squeezes of the hand. Let these
\ntiny actions demonstrate the love inside YOU.<\/p>\n
3. The gift of a note–It can be as simple as “I
\nLove You” or as creative as a sonnet. Put your notes where they
\nwill surprise your loved ones.<\/p>\n
4. The gift of laughter–Just cut out a cartoon,
\nsave a clever article. Your gift will say, “I live to laugh with
\nyou.”<\/p>\n
5. The gift of a compliment–A simple “You look good
\nin blue” or “I like your hair” or “Good supper, honey” can be of
\ngreatest value to those who may feel they are being taken for granted.<\/p>\n
6. The gift of a favor–Help with dishes, clean out the basement, etc.<\/p>\n
7. The gift of leaving alone–There are times in our
\nlives when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Become
\nmore sensitive to those times and give solitude.<\/p>\n
8. The gift of a cheerful disposition–Try to be cheerful around those you love especially.<\/p>\n
9. The gift of a game–Offer to play your loved
\none’s favorite game. Even if you lose, you’ll be a winner.<\/p>\n
10. The gift of prayer–Pray for those people on your gift
\nlists and let them know that you pray for them. Praying for
\nsomeone is a way of saying, “You are so special to me that I talk to
\nGod about you.”<\/p>\n
