Giving doesn’t have to be grand. Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are small acts — a kind word, a listening ear, a moment of attention.
Yesterday, I helped someone carry groceries without thinking twice. Their smile and quiet thanks lingered with me longer than the act itself. It reminded me that giving is not just about the receiver — it transforms the giver, too.
This season, consider giving something intangible: patience, encouragement, or simply your presence. These gifts cost nothing but can mean everything.
Today, look for one small way to give — not for recognition, but for connection and care. Giving, even quietly, makes the world a little warmer.
