saying yes

Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow. (Mat. 5:42)

the interesting thing about giving is that the more you do it, the easier it is. a few weeks ago, i posted about giving. since then, i have made the choice to say yes, rather than no. and it feels good. i feel fuller, more blessed, more vibrant.

i think that i was saying no out of fear, holding onto my pennies or time thinking that once they were gone, i could never recoup their value. but what i've learned these last few weeks is that the more that i give, the more that i get. blessings abound. when i stop and think about it, i don't know if it's because i'm giving and thus receiving or rather giving is changing my outlook. it's making me see things as blessings that i was missing before.

giving isn't always easy, but it's always good. this is a lesson that i want to remember. this is a lesson that i want to teach my son.

what lesson are you being taught?
