A Christmas gift of kind words


FOR my annual Christmas article, I once again draw on the concept of gift-giving from my brethren Christians in Malaysia.

While I wrote about the spiritual lessons of gifting last year (“The ‘gift’ of Christmas”, The Star, Dec 21; online at bit.ly/star_gifts), this year the gifting I want to discuss is not in the form of things gaily wrapped in colourful paper but simply kind words of understanding, empathy and tolerance.
