“Deep down inside we know that the best gifts don't come from catalogs or shopping malls. They don't come in brightly-colored packages or fancy envelopes and they're not sitting under a tree somewhere... The best gifts come from the heart. They come when we look at each other, REALLY look at each other and say 'You mean a lot to me' or 'I'm so glad you're a part of my life.' A gift like that will never go out of style or be forgotten or be returned for a different size. A gift like that can change the world.” KnowsWorldLooksHeartMeanDifferentTreeStyleSittingForgottenSizeGladFancyChanging The WorldShoppingPackagesDeep DownMallsEnvelopesBest Gift Author:Ron Atchison
