Giving and Sharing

Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others."

Give- Pay, contribute, donate, produce, yield, bestow,
Each action is desired and most accepted.
The return of positive expressions is very well desired.
The respect of feelings is shown through verbal gratitude,
is a great way to show a heart of love and attention.

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Does God really give us the answer, or does he enlighten our eyes or and quicken our minds and hearts to help us choose to make the right decision. That would still be called our choice.

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

"Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save.
Before you blame, research. Before you speak, listen. Before you die, give. Before you answer, study. Before you judge, check yourself.”

Do not be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

It is rare indeed that people give. Most people guard and keep; they suppose that it is they themselves and what they identify with themselves that they are guarding and keeping, whereas what they are actually guarding and keeping is their system of reality and what they assume themselves to be.
God’s greatest gift was shown through the gift of His Son, and through His Spirit.

All God desires in return is our lives through love and submission.
We make a living from what we receive; we make a life by what we give.

“Happiness is not so much in having or sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
