Truly Giving

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. – Khalil Gibran

Today is Christmas here in the United States and I’d like to remind you what real giving is.

It’s when you are truly present with someone and you give of yourself.

You give time and attention and focus – and love.

It sounds simple, but it’s profound.

Because when you really show up for someone and you truly give, you offer something that no “gift” could ever approach.
