God has been so gracious to us all. What do we have that is free? Time? Talents?
I think one of the most valuable things we have – is ourselves. I’m learning the more we give of ourselves – whether it is just a friendly phone call to let someone know you were thinking of them, or a quick email, or, yes I am old fashion – writing a little note and putting it into the post office - the more blessings I receive.
Giving of ourselves could also mean physically doing something for someone, especially an older person – maybe cleaning their yard for them, or taking over some baked goods, or just sitting and listening to them talk.
Giving of ourselves doesn’t necessarily mean having to “use money” to help someone.
Try to do one thing for one person each day – giving of you. You may just find in doing so, that you’ve made the receiving party’s day better – but I can also assure you – somewhere down the line – you will be abundantly blessed.
“Be ye doers of the world…” Seek your blessings each and everyday through kindnesses to others. Some blessings are small and some are grander – no matter the size – they are all blessings!
