GIVE,AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!
This is usually my favorite season of the year,there is so much excitement that is almost infectious.There is much expectations from family,friends, colleagues and loved ones.
Unfortunately,many people do not realize that they have to do more of giving than just waiting to receive.And do not say that you have nothing to give,because there is so much in you to give:love,care,joy are things you can give that will cost you nothing.
Giving is not always about money and materials things,but it is also necessary to spend your money to make others happy.Do not withhold your resources,use it to bring joy into the lives of those around you and you will surely receive more.Your rewards may not be instant,and might not come in the same form,but it will surely come when you need it most and would fulfill your heart desire.
The following are those you can reach out to in this festive season:
1,Family
2,friends and colleagues
3,The homeless,motherless.
4,The elderly
5.The physically challenged
6,Whoever you are lead to by the spirit of God.
Please do not wait for people to give to you first before you give and do not be tired of giving, even when it seems not to be appreciated.God will reward you! So give love, care,material gifts,talents,money,even a smile!Happy celebration!!!
