I love this quote. It truly is what a gift is all about! Enjoy…
We give of ourselves when
we give gifts of the heart:
love, kindness, joy, understanding,
sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness.
We give of ourselves when
we give gifts of the mind:
ideas, dreams, purposes,
ideals,principles, plans,
inventions, projects, poetry.
We give of ourselves when
we give gifts of the spirit:
prayer, vision, beauty,
aspiration, peace, faith.
We give of ourselves when
we give the gift of words:
encouragement, inspiration, guidance.
Emerson said it well:
‘Rings and jewels are not gifts,
but apologies for gifts.
The only true gift is
a portion of thyself.’
– Wilferd A. Peterson, 1900-1995 American Author and Columnist
