Great gift-giving involves three things: you feel what the other feels you give freely and you count sacrifice a bargain… those gifts are truly great which are given simply for the joy they bring to another heart.

And sometimes you will have gifts brought to your mind which you failed to notice during the day, but which you will then know were a touch of God's hand in your life.
