Giving of Self Is a Gift
Giving of self is a Gift in itself when giving comes straight from the heart. I’m reflecting on the people I know who are doing great things in their community, in their churches, and to help others in great need. Over the years I have grown up watching my family members give so much of themselves simply to help others, and have had such a great example of fine leadership.
Witnessing people volunteer, and make change come forth from their efforts is heart warming. I am so grateful for these experiences as I could not imagine going through life with out a desire to do more, help more, and making a difference in someones life. I also know that kind acts of giving are always greater when more than one person is involved. What I mean is the more people that are a part of something great the better the act of giving can be. It is this way because we all have different resources to contribute, different talents, and different perspectives.
When we as people do something great for someone else regardless of it being big or small at that moment we are outside of ourselves. We are focused on others and less on our own being. We are not only making a difference to the person we are helping, but possibly others who witness these good deeds. Maybe they too will spread the love and give back.
In the end the result of being a part of something great in turn is the greatest gift of all. So really all involved in the process of giving from the heart are affected in a positive way. Thank you to all my family and friends who always support everything I do. Thanks also to those who have been an inspiration to me!
