Today's Gift
Today's Gift
We make a living by what we
get, but we make a life by what we give. --Winston
Churchill
As we grow spiritually, we naturally become more
generous. It's a quality of a well-developed person. Rather than being anxious
over whether we will have enough - and rather than hungrily seeking more and
more - we become more openhearted. We feel more abundant within ourselves and
find that our spirit of generosity even adds to our own abundant feelings. Where
we see a need, we help out.
A generous person doesn't need to shower others with
material gifts. The most precious gifts are things such as paying attention to
others, respecting them for who they are, and giving our time. Often a material
gift is a symbol of the good feelings in a relationship. In our generosity, we
also learn to receive others' gifts to us with humility and respect.
Today I take pleasure in my spirit of
generosity.
