Patience is not simply the ability to wait — it’s how we behave while we’re waiting. — Joyce Meyer, televangelist

What to say when someone asks you what you want for Christmas… You might already have a wish list running in your head (or on Amazon). Might we suggest a few others items that you’d like to give or receive this Christmas? This list has ideas for gifts that are fair trade, that fight injustice, and that support communities around the world. Merry Christmas to all!

Today, while you’re waiting for something, try to keep a smile on your face the entire time.
