Wordfull Wednesday......Giving


This weeks Wordfull Wednesday is about Giving.
I am going to keep this post very simple. Giving comes in many forms. A simple smile, a door held open, a thank you for a deed done, mentoring a child or children, service in your community, a kind word of encouragement, a hug or simply being there when you are needed. We can all give in our own ways......giving, even of the smallest of things, makes the world a better place.
The following quotes speak volumes....
"The love we give away is the only love we keep" Elbert Hubbard
"No one has ever become poor by giving" Anne Frank
"There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom and peace of mind --are always attained by giving them to someone else." Peyton Conway March
Give of yourself and bring joy to someone else....

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said we all need to give in our own way. I love that quote by Anne Frank!

This was wonderful to read! What a great reminder for all of us. Reminds me of that "pay it forward" idea.
