Affirmation for August 12, 2010: Gifts

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give. 
- George MacDonald
Thought of the day:
Gifts mark special occasions. Birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and holiday gifts cover most of the reasons why we would go to a store and buy a nice present for a loved one or a friend.
But this week, pay close attention every time you hug someone, every time you share a laugh with a friend, do a favor, or just spend some quality time with family. Forgive the pun, but your presence is a gift! One that you are giving to this world every single day. And we're all thankful for it!
Have a lovely day!
