Gift of love

I want to suggest a very special gift that, as Quakers, we can give, receive and share to help bring true joy at Christmas time.

This gift needs no money, produces no stress, takes no physical effort, follows no rules and regulations and is suitable for all ages, classes and backgrounds. It can be given while washing up, putting excited children to bed, taking the dog for a walk and, occasionally, in luxury, may be given from a brief space of receptive stillness.
