These are gifts that you can always give throughtout the year!

~ The Gift of Praise ~
Appropriate mention, right in front of the other fellow,
of superior qualities or of a job or deeds well done.

~ The Gift of Consideration ~
Putting yourself in the other's shoes and thus providing
your genuine understanding of his side of the case.

Humbly saying at just the right point,
"I am sorry, you are right and I am wrong."

~ The Gift of Gratitude ~
Never forgetting to say "Thank You"
and never failing to mean it.

When the other fellow speaks, listen attentively.
If his words are directed to you personally,
meet his eye squarely.

~ The Gift of Inspiration ~
Plant seeds of courage and action
in the other person's heart.

~ The Gift of Personal Presence ~
In sickness, in trouble, or in great joy, there is nothing quite
equal to your personal expression of sympathy or congratulations.
Resolve to give these gifts each day. You will be pleasantly
surprised at what you will receive in return.

Precious Memories
by Alan Jackson; Price: $9.76 (49% off)
Customer Review: A few decades ago nearly every country singer had at least one--often more--gospel albums in their catalog. Today, aside from gospel veteran Amy Grant, who balances the sacred and secular, and Randy Travis, that concept has long faded.

Who Started Christmas?

A woman was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable, and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.

She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year. Overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, getting that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, making sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.

Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the car. She pushed her way in and dragged her two kids in with her and all the bags of stuff.

When the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and stated, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up and shot."

From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet calm voice respond, "Don't worry we already crucified him."

For the rest of the trip down the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.

Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word. If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world would be.
