" I don't give to expect things in return, I give to see others smile and I give because that is how I'm BleSSed"
When I was younger, I truly never understood what it meant to give from the heart. I would give and expect something, anything in return! I didn't fully understand that giving comes from the heart and sometimes the gift isn't something you can see physically... As time has progressed, I've learned some of the gifts I've received in return are immeasurable.
I've now learned to give unconditionally. I give because it feels right in my soul and it truly is a wonderful feeling to know you've put a smile on someone's face.
I'm also teaching my daughter to give. I have a bad habit of over buying for her. There fore, leaving some outfits being worn only once. I teach her that when we give to others, we then receive blessings in return. She;s becoming a good sport at helping me go through the things she cannot fit or even play with so we can pass them on to someone else.
When it comes to my relationship with God, I give of my time and sharing of his word to non-believers. In the end, we will be held accountable for this. One of his biggest requirements is to share what he has blessed us with with others. I'm constantly told that my words and blogs inspire others, but truth be told I'm always talking to myself first. I cvannot expect my words to touch others without first touching or encouraging myself.
So today, I challenge each of you to give Self"leSS"ly. Give until you cannot give anymore...This may sound funny to some but it TRULY works for me...I'm a serious bag lover...And I have all types of bags, high end to Target..As of lately, I've found myself giving away my older bags that I no longer use or carry as much. And I've noticed that when I do that, I'm blessed over and over time again. I'm not giving in hopes that someone is going to give me something in return, I give just to make someone else happy. and when we can truly understand and give from our hearts, we've conquered the test of Self"LESS" Giving!
Be Encouraged
Be Inspired, GIVE!
