Then there is Generosity - many parts can be given away not only financial, but can be generous with our time, talents etc. Kindness - always helpful. Patience - it is said practicing in pa- tience is painful. Love - the best gift of all. The last gift is Peace not only for the world but in the heart of each of us.
