“For it is in giving that we receive.” — St. Francis of Assisi
Give me, give me, give me. It sounds like something kids say, but don't we really say it more often than we realize? Granted, we live in a materialistic society, but materialistic things don't fill the empty hole we feel inside. In reality, the more we give, the more we get of the stuff we really want — long-lasting, sustaining happiness and fulfillment. The real test, too, is to give without acknowledgement. Try this out: Every day, give something to someone else without being found out. If someone learns of it, the act does not count.
