A gift is defined as something that is given from one person to another, or it can mean a person with a talent. These two meaning are practically the same because when someone gives,they have a talent of having a good giving spirit..Giving a gift to someone is showing their affection to them and how much they appreciate their relationship. Giving gifts with the right attitude is most rewarding especially when someone gives from their heart. Giving from the heart doesn't have to mean a big elaborate gift as most people think, the smallest gift sometimes means the most because someone knows they gave with a loving attitude,which means the world to some .

There are many ways to give, volunteering your services to people or family that really need assistance. Sometimes they are disabilities that keep some from doing things that is important,so offering this really is a very good gift.Giving of your love and services can go a long way for example, helping someone less fortunate than you .Giving donations to cancer and heart drives, or to children's hospitals, polio and lung disease centers .It might be where you can help someone get a wheelchair or something that is really needed in their lives.Maybe help sit with the elderly or with children can be helpful.When ever you do donations and charities, it can be tax free, but the best of all it displays love that is so rewarding. I knew one Christmas in 1975, where this family lost all their belongings to fire.The neighbors , churches, co- workers ,family and friends all pitched in and they were able to have a good Christmas. The happiness and smiles from this family that was achieved that day meant the world to all that attributed to the cause. Only these kind of things can give back and that is love.

A smile that comes from a face receiving such a gift, is so wonderful for the giver.So ,whenever you are wondering what can I give? Take the time to use your mind and study that person and see where and what kind of service or kind deed you could possibly give and you will be so blessed. That family that suffered the loss of their home was mine. I shall never forget that day for the rest of my life.The love and concern that was shown by our fellowman and family was so wonderfully displayed.There has been times where the circumstances were on the other foot and I remembered those precious moments and how we felt and when ever we can we try and display the love that was shared that day to others that might need that special gift that was shown and that was love.If in question what can I do or give? Give them your heart.
