The Gift of Praise
Appropriate mention, right in front of the other fellow,
of superior qualities or of a job or deeds well done.
The Gift of Consideration
Putting yourself in the other's shoes and thus
providing your genuine understanding of his side of the case.
The Gift of Concession
Humbly saying at just the right point,
"I am sorry, you are right and I am wrong."
The Gift of Gratitude
Never forgetting to say "Thank You" and never failing to mean it.
The Gift of Attention
When the other fellow speaks, listen attentively.
If his words are directed to you personally, meet his eye squarely.
The Gift of Inspiration
Plant seeds of courage and action in the other person's heart.
The Gift of Personal Presence
In sickness, in trouble, or in great joy,
there is nothing quite equal to your personal expression of
sympathy or congratulations. Resolve to give these gifts each day.
You will be pleasantly surprised at what you will receive in return.
When homes are gay with holly wreaths,
With mistletoe and pine,
While childish hearts sing out with joy,
In faith that is sublime.
While gala packages are heaped
Beneath the Christmas trees,
And snowflakes lightly flutter down
In twilights playful breeze.
While logs are heaped upon the flame,
While music low and sweet,
Fills halls and stairs and upper rooms
With joy that's most complete.
While festive boards are heaped with food,
And candles gleam and glow,
While greeting cards and messages
Come from the ones we know.
While many white-robed choirs sing,
While heads are bowed in prayer,
And tears escape, in loneliness
For one who is not there.
While all these things and many more.
Help make our season gay,
Let us remember, in our joy,
The meaning of this day.
