The joy of giving
What a blessing it is on this Christmas Day, and every day, to be able to give. For it is through giving that life's greatest joys are created.

Sincerely give of yourself today, with no agenda other than to celebrate the pure spirit of giving. And truly experience life in all its richness.

When you give, you open your heart to life and allow great measures of abundance to come pouring in. What could possibly bring more meaning and fulfillment to life than making a difference in the lives of others?

Giving is more than merely offering objects. When you give, give your time, your attention, your love, compassion, consideration, patience and respect.

Give a part of yourself, and you will not ever lose it. That part of you takes on greater influence and value as it touches other lives beyond your own.

On this day, simply give because you can. And know the unmatched joy that giving brings to life.

-- Ralph Marston

Giving without the thought of getting back. Knowing you will be blessed but expecting it, is another story. Often the person we give to is not able to give back, and you are gifted back from another source. When you give, and they don`t want to receive, I always like to say, `Pay it forward.`
