Reflection

“Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart.”
–Zig Ziglar

Prayer

Gracious God,

There’s nothing trite about recognizing the gifts that keep on giving! Just as you came to bring us abundant life, help us to extend that very same life in ways that may seem so simple, yet they can nonetheless build up the bonds between us and sweeten our days with joy. May we never take for granted those gifts we can give without running short of supply: our words, our smiles, and the gratitude within our hearts. As we share and give thanks for your abundant life, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Little gifts can mean so much to someone and yet it costs me nothing! Gift to someone a smile, a kind word, or a genuine “thank you” today.
