Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says
To the Earth
"You owe me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that.
It lights the
Whole
Sky
Giving selflessly is one thing that we recently discussed. I saw this quote and thought that it was just too good to pass up. What would happen if we forgot about what people owed us? What if we focused far more on giving than on what we get in return. I think that living would be so much more worth while. Who cares if you held the door open for 15 people and none of them said thank you. (Yes they were being quite rude) But what its really about is the fact that you had the chance to affect 15 peoples' days within the matter of two minutes. What a blessing!
I should make a list of everything that first grade has taught me so far! Kids are such a great example of this. They make pictures as gifts and expect no picture in return. They stand and wait to give you a hug and will be patient until you are able to give them one. We even take at least twenty minutes a day to discuss how its a new day, a new beginning and another chance to work together!
Oh those 6 year olds are so tender!
Oh Kimmi!
ReplyDeleteThere is just something about giving selflessly. We spoke of this yesterday didn't we? And what you'll find is you wind up getting so much more. And many times it's not in the form in which you expect it to look but you get something better than you soul or heart could ever imagine. It took me so long to learn this Kimmi...but you only get what you give. So continue to give love, happiness and light every day and you'll see your life transformed !
Love, Danielle :-)
