There is one gift everyone can share with others.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Time<\/p>\n

Do you happen to know what the most important gift is?\u00a0 Everyone has the same amount of it and once used it cannot be replaced, so you should spend it as well as you can.<\/p>\n

Often we think of giving as all about money but there is one gift that is more valuable than money.\u00a0 It is time.\u00a0 You can make more money but once your time is spent you cannot get it back.<\/p>\n

Time is the true currency of your life.\u00a0 It is also a common denominator for every living thing and person.\u00a0 Every moment of your life is a gift.\u00a0 Please be thankful for the time you have. Spend and save it wisely, and use it to share love with others.<\/p>\n

So what do you do when you have a big project to finish and a friend who is down calls to talk?\u00a0 Do you listen to your friend or complete your project?<\/p>\n

I choose to give the gift of my time to a friend. \u00a0When I share time with someone, I am also sharing the love in my heart.\u00a0 Often when I am working to improve the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of the website or just writing a new article, a friend will call and either want to talk or want me to help them with something.\u00a0 No matter where I am in my work, I save my work and give my time to my friends instead.\u00a0 Right now I am behind on my huge project of overhauling the SEO. I am less than 10 percent done with this huge project that I hope to finish by year\u2019s end.\u00a0 However, I am not behind on loving others.\u00a0 Every day I spend time loving others by giving them the gift of my time.<\/p>\n

The holidays are upon us and many people are lonely.\u00a0 Last week in Walmart, a man I had never met started talking to me as though he had known me for years.\u00a0 My husband had gone off to find the next item on our list while I looked for the food storage containers, the same thing this man wanted. I listened to him and responded as though I had known him for years.\u00a0 Then when I finally caught up to my husband who was waiting for me at our rendezvous point, I just smiled.\u00a0 He did not complain about having to wait.\u00a0 Then in the car on the way home, I told him what had happened and he just squeezed my hand lovingly.<\/p>\n

If you need to change your thoughts to change how you use your time, here is a thought for you.\u00a0 What would the world be like without this person in it?\u00a0 In my beloved brother\u2019s memory, I encourage you to consider being kind to others when you choose how to spend your time.\u00a0 Always remember that another caring person will give back to you the time and love you have given away at some point in your life, probably when you need it the most.<\/p>\n

Sharing your time and love with others can change the world, one person at a time.<\/p>\n
