“He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.” – Thomas a Kempis
“As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. ‘Truly I tell you,’ he said, ‘this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.’”- Luke 21: 1-4
When you feel something for others, when you want to give or help out in any way possible, don’t wait until you feel like you have enough. If you do, you’ll never never get started. Don’t wait to be generous. You can start giving now – helping now. And when others give to you (their time, energy, praise, or even “small gifts”), do not take their gifts for granted. Remember, it’s the thought that counts, not the size or monetary worth of the gift.
There are a lot of people going through rough times today. If you can find a way to help, I hope that you’ll seriously consider doing so.
