Eight Gifts

JOYPEACE

Eight Gifts ============ Below are eight gifts that don't cost a cent to give. 1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING... But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening. 2) 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. 3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER... Funny pictures. Share articles, funny stories and funny greetings. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you." 4) 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 lifetime, and may even change a life. 5) 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. 6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... Every day, go out of your way to do something kind. Helping elderly cross the road can be nice. 7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE... There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others. 8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION... The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You. Author Unknown

雅(Jas) 1:19 我亲爱的弟兄们，这是你们所知道的。但你们各人要快快的听，慢慢的说，慢慢的动怒。 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

^_^,If I hug, kiss, pat on the back and handholds to demonstrate the love I have for my dear mother,maybe she will open her eyes wide and ask me"Are you ok?".In her opinion,LOVE is cooking,cleaning,doing many things for families.

Yes, It's different culture from Western, But our parent - the old man, they hope us to stay alone with them, Even though we have leave them to live a new family. Even though we are very busy. Even though we are poor or rich. Just call to them and have a meal with them, It's sometime enough.

The Six-Letter Word ==================== I was taught a lesson that just six simple letters could make a difference. Those six letters made the word - SILENT. Those letters when rearranged also spell the word - LISTEN. I never truly understood that until the day I stood silent and learned there was more to life than everyday living. When you don't take the time to listen and be silent then everything is easily taken for granted. The things I wasn't silent for and listened for, I now miss the most. A simple I love you from my children. The request of a loved one that I was too busy for at the time. Little did I know, that if I stayed quiet and savored things, I could have imprinted their voices in my mind and made memories that would have lasted. The one thing I always will be thankful for is that I learned my lesson and heeded the call. But also that God truly is silent and listened for my every need, but in return if I'm silent, I can also hear from Him.
