Unlike fossil fuels, the best gifts in the world are both renewable and free. Hugs, kisses and a good bedtime story, for instance. A word of consolation, wisdom or advice when it is needed most, for instance. A friendly smile and a greeting, for instance.
Therefore, ask not what others can give to you, but what you can give to others. Ask not what Life can give to you, ask what you can give to Life. Ask not what God can gve to you, but what you can give to God. When you have tasted the power of gifting, everyday is Christmas Day.
