We all enjoy giving and receiving presents. But there is a difference between presents and gifts. The true gifts may be part of ourselves - giving of the riches of the heart and mind - and therefore more enduring and of far greater worth than presents bought at the store.
— James E. Faust

True Gifts

Christmas is a time for giving. Someone once said he couldn’t think of what to give for Christmas. The next day in the mail he received an anonymous list which read:

  • Give to your enemy forgiveness,

  • To your opponent tolerance,

  • To your friends your heart,

  • To all men charity, for the hands that help are holier than lips that pray,

  • To every child a good example, and to yourself -- respect.

All of us need to follow the example of the Savior in giving these kinds of gifts.

— Howard W. Hunter
