In reference to Anne Frank’s Quote: This quote
originates from “freely” giving, the kind of giving that could make a person
smile for one moment … a type of giving that could momentarily change a
person’s life by supplying them with hope. How great does it feel to make
a person smile? It takes a small amount of effort to open your heart to
someone in need … I find it spiritually rewarding to make someone smile, not
being kind because it is the right thing to do, but being kind because you want
to. I find happiness and I find myself by making people smile …
Does it not warm your heart to see the gratitude and thankfulness on someone’s
face when you give? Everyone has a different style of giving, the most
precious gift is giving your time, no money needed J In all honesty, seems to me like every time I give,
God always returns it back to me in more ways than one … When we give freely
with love in our hearts, we receive JOY and our spirit shines bright. In
giving to others, we forget about the troubles in our lives for a period of
time because we are focused on something other than ourselves.
It is funny … now that I am typing this … that I have found
the solution to my “stuck point – something that I have had difficulty getting
through the past few months,” I have been so caught up with (my feelings, my
adjustment, me me me, my my my) that I have allowed myself to change, and not
for the good. As I read the quote below, this is the solution to break
free from selfishness, I become me again by becoming a servant … I know that is
a strong word but, in context, I mean a servant of God … to show love,
kindness, to freely give my heart and soul to serving people again, to make
them smile. Today I make a promise to give my time to my children before
they leave home (they are growing up too fast), I promise to serve my husband
like he serves me … I want to make a positive influence in people’s lives
again. I start today… Giving enriches and comforts the lives of both the
giver and receiver. We will all find peace, joy, and happiness there (the
givers heart).
Today we drop selfishness, we drop greed, we drop hate … We
turn our focus towards having a servant’s heart, we encourage, we give, we
inspire, we WILL make a difference in someone’s life. Amen.
