8 Gifts That Don't Cost A Cent
The Gift of a Favor:
Every day , go out of your way to do something kind.
The Gift of Listening:
But you must really listen. No interrupting, no day dreaming, 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:
Clip cartoons. Share antics and funny stories. Your gift will say, 'I love to laugh with you.'
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 life time and may even change a life.
The Gift of Solitude:
There ae times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
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.
The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition:
The easiest way to feel good is to make others feel good."

Nice list, God, but I am going to need your help to be more aware, to see things as You see them. One more thing I am going to need Your help doing! You put so many people in my path. Help me to see them as You do! In Jesus' Name. Amen.
