Gift Giving







The gift of your wholehearted and full-fledged commitment …priceless.

The gift of responsible drinking, or sobriety…priceless.

Making every weekend a vacation by doing something simple but meaningful to both of you…..priceless.

Letting someone know they are beautiful to you, so they never have to worry about how they look …..priceless.

Doing your fair share when it comes to household chores and parenting; listening attentively and being able to give thoughtful non-irritable feedback…priceless.

Gift Giving....

We often look for “material” solutions to “emotional” needs.  And try to buy our way out of situations.  But there are many things money cannot buy. So while expensive thoughtful gifts might be appropriate on special occasions, they are not the only gifts we will be called upon to give in life. Gifts we might be called upon to give, which have no monetary value, and are harder because they involve sacrifice and require deep pockets of patience and forbearance, include the gift of availability, the gift of understanding, the gift of reassurance, the gift of attentive listening, the gift of praise, the gift of patience, the gift of forgiveness. Don’t wait for a Road To Damascus experience to understand the truth about gift-giving.  Begin a life-changing experience today. For inspiration, watch the movie Courageous and let its message and meaning change your life.  

Happy Gift Giving and as always, thanks for reading, and have a great, great day and week....M.....a Pearl Seeker like you.
