Text Box: Ever wonder what the most unique of gifts one can give this time of year, one which keeps giving the whole year and only requires a bit of time to extend. It is yourself. No lines in which to wait, no surcharges or restocking fees apply and the returns are more rewarding and are beyond our imagination. God gave us His Son, we can at least give of ourselves. Merry Christmas to All
