But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63576]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16150]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who first comes to this world below With drear November's fog and snow  Should prize the Topaz' amber hue-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who first comes to this world below With drear November's fog and snow  Should prize the Topaz' amber hue--   Emblem of friends and lovers true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut...
