Giving

(February 5, 1999)

If we could look ahead, we would be comforted to know that we have worked for, and what we have given our hearts to, will reward us. We cannot give and give and not receive, especially if we have given willingly and cheerfully.

We have shared in many ways and many times when it seemed unimportant. We gave without thought that it would do anything but help - and these are the gifts that will not go unrewarded.

Giving is so often thought in terms of the things we give, but our greatest giving is of our time, and kindness, and even comfort for those who need it. We look on these gifts as unimportant - until we need them.

Then, the most wonderful gift is simple courage.

Peace.
