Introduction, Session 15: The Gift Of Ourselves
In "Wonderful Welcome," a Tapestry of Faith program
Be here now.
— Ram Dass (Richard Alpert)
This session introduces the intangible gift of ourselves. The children will learn that the best gift to give others is to be truly present to them. It is important to stress that the gift of themselves is not their physical selves, but the intangible positive qualities they can give through love and caring. Giving of themselves also does not mean giving away their possessions. When a friend is talking to them, the effort they make to be attentive is the intangible gift of themselves.
