As the holiday approaches I can’t help but feel that spirit that goes with it, that wonderful spirit of giving. I have always believed it is more blessed to give than it is to receive. I have always had so much fun and joy giving to others. However this year I am learning the lesson of allowing others to give to me. It was brought to my attention that sometimes you have to allow people to give to you, if you don’t then you spoil the joy that they are seeking in giving to you . This is a hard lesson for me, I honestly never really thought of it like that, but it is so very true. I was recently asked to accept a gift that I thought was overly generous, the person needed my address to send it to me. I tried dodging it but later it was brought to my attention that I could be spoiling their joy in giving. My positive thought for this week is enjoy giving to others but allow that joy to be returned by allowing others to give to you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. STAY POSITIVE ~Sara
I agree, Sara, I love giving, but part of giving is receiving too. Others like to give to me and that makes them happy, so I will very happily receive too and it makes others happy as much as my giving makes me happy. Happy giving and receiving Sara, with love Ute x
