I can remember that we children always looked forward to when she was coming over, because she rarely didn't come with a present for us. Most often, it was simply a piece of candy or gum, but her gift showed that we were each special to her. She took time to be with us (the few times she could come), and for that I'll always have fond memories of her. Even when we were half-way around the world from her, she sent us a bag of candies! The point I'm trying to make is, that is one kind of gift you can give your nieces and nephews -- a small gift to show that you love them, and warm friendship. They'll always remember you for the things you did to them, whether good or bad. God Bless, Esther One thing I might add to the first point (“Investing in the children in our families and friends’ families”)is — my aunt is a woman who loves children, is single (she’s in her 30′s), and loves giving gifts.

I was the awkward preteen that thought she was more mature than she was, and instead of acting annoyed or sending me to play with girls my age, every one of the youth girls in my church reached out to me, made me feel like I was one of them, and unselfishly allowed me to grow with them. Now that I'm their age(I thought they were so old! ha!) I've been shaking my head a lot lately wondering how and why they did it. It makes me second guess myself when I'm tempted to bypass the younger girls in my church in order to spend time with my friends. Those girls made such an impression on me and did so much to help me grow just by allowing me to feel like I was one of them; I can hardly not do the same! You’ve put it so well.
