Giving Time

One of the greatest gifts you can give someone, if not the greatest, is your time. Material gifts often end up forgotten or in the disposal. But giving someone your time can be a lasting gift that actually changes them. Giving your time to something means, this (or you) are important to me in a way that a material gift cannot. This isn't to denounce material gifts by any means. There is a time and place for material gifts for sure.

Give the people who are important to you the gift of your listening, empathy, laughter, smiles, tears, counsel, support, ideas and sometimes even constructive criticism.
