Giving
It's not what you get, but what you give,
That makes worthwhile the Life you live;
The transient thrill of receiving is gone,
While the joy of giving goes on and on;
For when you've performed a kindly deed,
Healed a hurt or supplied a need,
Deep in your heart there begins to glow
A warmth of gladness it's good to know!
You love the world! It loves you, too!
You smile, and it smiles right back at you;
And you say to yourself, "It's good to live!"
But, better still, when you've learned to give.
--Thelma Williamson, Sunshine Magazine, January 1972

Found it much easier to give than to receive. When you give, you get back. If you are closed to receiving, you miss out on a lot of God's Grace.
