Gifts


It is strange how gifts light up faces. How it warms the heart...

Gifts... They don't necessarily comes in boxes, bags and wrapped... They don't require tangibility... Sometimes the best gifts are the ones you can't touch. The ones you can't buy with all the money in the world. They come forth as something priceless and not of material objects.

I am blessed to receive gifts like that, they mean more to me than the material gifts. They might come in many abstract forms. Gifts in talents, gifts in blessing, gifts in personality, gifts in luck, and gifts in gifts...

One of the most valuable gifts I have...

I appreciate how there is someone who:

take some time off their busy life and spend it with me,
wishes me on festive seasons,
remembers me even when they are having fun,
bothers to remember what I like and don't,
listens to me when I need to talk,
shares their joy with me,
takes the trouble to make sure that I am fine,
believes in me even when I don't,
makes me a better person,
love me for who I am,
puts up with my antics,
appreciates me,
allows me to be me and still love me - no pretences.

Those are most of the best gifts I've ever received and there are more of them. To sum it up, they are the best people I've ever known, the best gifts I've ever received.
