“The best gifts are those we not only cherish 
but put to use." 
- Les Brown

 

Isn't it satisfying and rewarding to give gifts that are appreciated and used? 

I remember a particular scarf for one sister-in law. Snoopy slippers for another. The rotisserie my brother still enjoys using after many years. Activity coupon books Frank and I have made for our grandchildren. 

But what about the non-material gifts we have within us for living well? These gifts: 

Strength. Beauty. Courage. Compassion. Hope. Joy. Talent. Imagination. Reverence. Wisdom. Love. & Faith.

I think we don't yet realize how valuable and powerful they are. But which of these Twelve Gifts are most important to you now, at this time in your life? 

Let's give thanks for all of our gifts and use them more and more each day for deeper peace, better health, greater success, and for being our best selves. 
 

With gratitude,
Charlene
