Default What do I receive by giving?

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

Nothing that is worth doing can be done alone, but has to be done with others.
—Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr

We who are blessed with a closely-knit family life, where thoughts and actions can be discussed and developed, are aware that what is given is not as important as what is shared. As we help one another, we learn that sharing can never exist unless we care first. This is the major ingredient of love.

Albert Schweitzer described human service toward a common goal as the greatest of deeds. Charles Dickens assured us that when we lighten the burdens of another, we can never consider ourselves useless. Those of us who are led today may show the way tomorrow. In giving, we receive, and in getting we cannot avoid being givers.

What do I receive by giving today?
My first thought when I saw the title was God's Blessings. What we give is returned to us, not always from the same source, and often many times more than we gave.

Love the quote, pretty well says it all. I can talk a lot, but it does get a bit difficult when I find myself talk to myself, so I am glad that I have my God with me each day, so I can talk to Him.
