The Kindness of the Gift of Time

"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

On a recent evening, my children and I were scheduled to meet with my steadfast friend and her daughter to exchange Christmas gifts.  We decided to meet for dinner and I suggested a place that I thought would be convenient to us both.  My friend, who is many wonderful things including considerate, insisted on driving out close to my house as she knew that I had already driven a bit that day.  Our children sat together and exchanged presents.  My friend and I had already exchanged gifts before Christmas, so we sat and talked -- and that was the best gift of all.
