For birthdays, Christmas, Easter, anniversaries, weddings, divorces, whatever occasion the consumer driven industrialised world has created for us to feel the need to give gifts, there are many things we can purchase, wrap and give to another.
However, the greatest gift we can give others is our time.
Time to listen.
Time to help.
Time to support.
Time to give a hug.
Whatever gift you can give that involves you giving your time to another human being is a gift that cannot be bought on Amazon. It leaves a memory, a legacy, a shared experience that will not collect dust on a shelf or end up in a landfill full of meaningless gifts that recipient didn’t need.
Give your time to others, it’s one of the best routes to true joy and happiness in our lives.
