Gifts Without Cost

Some gifts you can give this Christmas are beyond monetary value:

• Mend a quarrel, dismiss suspicion, tell someone, “I love you.”
• Give something away—anonymously.
• Forgive someone who has treated you wrong.
• Turn away wrath with a soft answer.
• Visit someone in a nursing home.
• Apologize if you were wrong.
• Be especially kind to someone with whom you work.
• Give as God gave to you in Christ, without obligation, or announcement, or reservation, or hypocrisy.
