“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”   -Acts 20:35
 
The sun gives us sunshine. The river gives us water. The trees give us fruit. The flowers give us fragrance. They teach us the art of giving. Giving does not have to be material. Giving kind words and warm smiles can mean more than money. Helping people in need is the same as giving to God. Jesus said, “The more you give, the more you receive.”
 
Today’s prayer:
 
Dear Lord, there are robbers, thieves, and embezzlers in the world. They are takers, not givers. They end up in prison or in poverty. Givers are richly blessed. We breathe in a new supply of fresh air only after we give our breath away. Amen.
 
1.    The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.  -Hada Bejar
2.    You may give gifts without caring – but you can’t care without giving.
-     Frank Clark
3.    If you give away that which you love, it will be returned to you.
-Arabian saying
