The Gift Of Your Presence

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

“There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.” – Leo Buscaglia

There is something in your presence that just couldn’t compare with anything else. It is not merely the words you say. It is not merely the things you do. It is who you are that is there – body, mind, heart and soul, all of you that the other person gets to sense and witness, even before you say a single word.

And this is just what a lot of people need today. Presence. Availability. Time.

You can give another person all the money in the world, but it could never compare to the gift of your presence.

Remember this whenever you feel that you have nothing worth giving. You always have something to give, a very valuable gift indeed. Consider giving people the very gift of your presence.

“A strange thing has happened, do you know? I am in darkness. There is a person who, departing, took away the sun.” – Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

In your presence is fullness of joy.
In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
-Psalm 16:11, WEB
