We give little when we give of our possessions but we give much when we give of ourselves.
A true friendship is even more precious than love, the joy is in the giving. Friendship releases and liberates the person. It gives freedom to the other to pursue what they want. Friends accept without judgement, that's why friendship is rarer even than love.
The holiday mood is still with us and there is cheer everywhere. The time to give is today and never tomorrow.
It is always a good time to be thankful for the countless other things we have received, and to remember friends for them being in our lives.
