The True Value of Free Gifts: Quality Time and Talents. As we enter this year's busy time of shopping for the perfect gifts for our friends and family, remember that, as well as giving physical gifts this Christmas, there are many gifts we can give that are free yet priceless. Time is one of those free but valuable gifts we can provide.
Ah, yes, but the saying says 'Money is time.' But is money the only way we can receive 'payment' for how we spend our time? Do we always have to receive 'payment' for our time?
Listen to other poems about giving titled "A Hug is Priceless" and "A Gift to Our Family."
This Featured Image shows the person sharing time. We can waste time with people, or we can give the gift of quality time, which requires skill. Quality time is only one of many skills and talents that we can share with others.
Poem: The Best Gift to Give is You
Give away that which you have plenty of
To others who are devoid of
To those in desperate need of
For you are the best gift you can offer.
If you have good health and strength
Love, joy, peace, and patience,
If you delight to encourage
Share these qualities with others.
Share your talent and experience
Don't hide them deep within
Learn the skills you need to know
To share your gifts with the world.
If you write, if you paint, if you sing
Then share a story through your gift
If you love to serve and help others
Then serve with a gracious attitude.
An unwritten book, a painting half-finished,
A song unsung and a cake unbaked,
Serving hands tied behind your back
Are of no value to anyone, nor even yourself.
To share our gifts will take time and effort,
Courage, focus and discipline
God gives us talents we must develop
And share with those waiting to receive.
