The Kindness of the Gift of an Afternoon

"Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it.  You can make more money, but you can't make more time.  When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.  Your time is your life.  That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time."
~ Rick Warren

A woman I know loves going to the movies, but, given that she has children, she rarely sees a not-child friendly movie.  On a day off from work, she decided that what she wanted to do most was to go to the movies.  She asked a friend, who also works, if she could join her.  Despite a busy afternoon, the friend joined her for lunch and a movie -- even though she had to handle issues at work and had to step out of the movie a couple of times to take calls.  It was a wonderful gift.
