I know people who are struggling, people who have cut back in every conceivable way to save money just to stay afloat. I also know people who are living very comfortably in nice homes, with fancy vehicles, going out to eat regularily and have no worries when it comes to bills or their health. The world definately has classes of people who are in the haves and the have nots. There is also a large population of people who are somewhere in the middle. The thing is…we all have things that we could share. Blessings come in many packages.
Everyone of us has gifts, talents, finances, possessions, strengths, knowledge or time that we could share with others. What I love to celebrate and learn about are those who share those blessings with others without thought or expectation of getting something back from that experience of sharing.
Our society is going through some amazingly challenging times…people are struggling. We need to be aware of others around us who are in need…those who could use a little pick me up. It could be a kind word, a nice deed, financial gift, or it could be a sharing of knowledge that could bring a positive change to another. There is a spiritual attitude that I love, it says this: “Those to whom much is given, much is expected in return”. I call that an attitude of gratitude; being thankful for all that you have been blessed with and a willingness to share it with others! I challenge you to find some way to bless others in your daily life. Consider this a compassionate call to action…what can you give to others with no strings attached?

Oh, Rainy!
You do such a good job of this that you should be the poster child for Compassionate Giving.
I’m on a kick lately for inviting someone or some family to dinner. How hard would it be to throw an extra potato into the pot to extend the food and your hospitality to someone who needs some TLC?
People might consider inviting someone who lives alone for lunch, which may only be a bowl of soup and a spot of tea! Until you do this, you’ll never know what a bright spot you could provide someone.
Even if you’d just pop a batch of corn and invite someone to share a bowlful, it could mean all the difference between being lonely or having some fun and food and fellowship.
Thanks for a great post, you Uber Giver, you!
Hugs,
