Wednesday of the Second Week of Easter

Several of my co-workers have had close family members die unexpectedly in recent months, and all have said that the time they had with that family member—their father, mother, sibling—was a gift. God’s greatest gift to us is Jesus. We can have the gift of Christ in our lives every day, and we can give of ourselves in simple ways as gifts to others:
The gift of listening.
The gift of affection.
The gift of laughter.
The gift of a written note.
The gift of a compliment.
The gift of a favor.
The gift of solitude.
The gift of a cheerful disposition.
The gift of a phone call.
The gift of compassion.
