Lisa Life Lesson ~"You can provide special "gifts" to those in your lives"

As we look toward the New Year, allow us to encourage you with some ways you can provide special "gifts" to those in your lives: Mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion. Write a long overdue note of love. Hug someone. Forgive one who has offended you. Be gentle and patient with an ornery person. Express your appreciation quickly. Do something to put a smile on a child's face. Keep a promise. Make or bake something for someone else...anonymously. Release a grudge. Listen...with full attention. Give an encouraging word to a stranger. Enter into another one's pain and sorrow. Smile and laugh more. Take a walk with someone special. Share a good book with someone else. Read a poem to a child. Lessen your demands on those around you. Sit and do nothing. Play some beautiful music during a meal. Share a candlelight dinner with your mate. Apologize. Treat someone to an ice cream cone. Do the dishes for your family. Fix breakfast for a group on a Saturday Morning. Give a soft answer even when you feel strongly. Offer to baby-sit for a weary mother. Pray for someone who has helped you. ~Lisa Clark
