be a giver today

Giving is a gift. I believe a gift for the giver and the receiver. As mothers, we become natural givers. We give the hugs, the smiles, the words, the kisses, the greetings. With our children and hopefully with our husbands this comes pretty naturally for us. Today I encourage you to look past the walls of your home and see who could use a little gift from you as the giver. Your neighbor, a friend, a sibling, a stranger, an old classmate, your kid's teacher, the guy at Walmart?Sometimes the giver needs to say nothing, just be in the presence of another person. One's presence can speak a thousand words. Sometimes giving comes in a package or an outing together or at a table over coffee or over an act of service. Giving can be described in so many ways... giving of your heart, your time, your possessions, your money, your friendship. I have been blessed by many givers in my life. Be a giver today or tomorrow or next week. Giving is good for the heart and soul... all of them involved!

The generous soul will be made rich! proverbs 11:25
