The gift of listening: But you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listen.
The gift of affection: Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
The gift of laughter: Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories, your gift will say "I love to laugh with you".
The gift of a written note: it can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet. A brief handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life
The gift of a compliment: A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job" or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
The gift of a favor: Everyday, go out of your way to do something kind.
The gift of a cheerful disposition: The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone. Really, it's not that hard to say hello or thank-you.

Thank you God for my "Friends"
Do you thank God for the people He has placed in your life? Paul did and we read about his prayer for Philemon in Philemon 4-6. Be sure to thank God often for the people He blessed you with and let them know you are praying for them.

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
That the communication of thy faith
may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing
which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Phm 1:4-6
Ladies, start giving and have a "Happy Thanksgiving"
