Eight Gifts that Do Not Cost A Cent
THE GIFT OF LISTENING But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, 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 articles 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
lifetime, and may even change a life.
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 FAVOR Every day, go out of your way to do
something kind.
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.
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.

God Always Answers
We ask God to give us what we think we want and need. Sometimes, God says "No." However, in God's answer, there is love. God does not always do what we want or give us our requests. The Lord knows better about what we need than we do. We may pray every day for our request to be answered as we want. However, when we go to the heart of God, He sometimes says we cannot have what we want. When God says "No," beneath the surface, His answer may seem harsh. However, His answer is not harsh because in answering us He reveals Himself to us in love. The Lord may never be willing to give us what we want because of factors we must not know about until we see Him. When we receive the Lord's "No" answer, we must learn to trust Him. When we receive a "No" from God we must then invest our whole heart in Him. When we receive a "No" from God we must be patient as we do His will each day. Receiving a negative answer from God is not easy because we have so many expectations about Him. However, when we trust the Lord, His negative answer to us may hurt us when we receive the answer, but we have a degree of peace living with what the Lord wants for us

Our Ever Faithful God
You are never by yourself in life unless you have turned away from God. To win out over the many daily obstacles we face, we must think ahead about the strategies we will use and how we will use them. Of course, if we do not have faith in God, we do not want to hear there is a connection between faith in God and what happens to us in our life. If you hold the belief you can deal with circumstances so victory is assured, no matter what you face, victory is assured. In the uncontrollable and unknowable circumstances of life, faith is the answer, faith is the hope, and faith is the future.

Christ Can Erase Mistakes
Christ always listens to your prayers, your petitions, and the pleas of your heart. We need to rest our hearts in the Lord's love. With the Lord's help, in His will, the broken fences of our past can be mended, new relationships built, and old relationships reborn. God has given you truly incredible gifts. We are all mistake-ridden sinners. However, Christ erases all our mistakes if we repent and accept Him as Lord of our life.
