Offerings

Blog 73 …

Whether something freely handed to you brings material, spiritual, or emotional blessing, you must wholeheartedly accept the gift.  You must never refuse it for any and all reasons.  There’s no need to be overwhelmed by someone’s kindness, goodness or cheerfulness.  There’s no room for feelings of guilt over a gift.  There’s no need to worry about paths to returning the gift either.  There’s nothing wrong in sharing and enjoying the bounty of someone’s harvest.  People give out of abundance, you know.  Many people give out of their heart’s generosity. They know well how equally blessed they are, so they put in practicevery the very act of giving.   When people especially give even as they themselves hurt by so doing, cherish the gift more.  It is the greatest of all giving and receiving.  You must highly treasure and value the gift by all means, but equally more important is that you also find a way, in time, to spread and multiply the blessings it brought you today!
