to get or give

To get or give, to take or give, to give or receive.  It is a question that we wrestle with every moment of every day. Those who are takers may think that they get more, but it is still better to give than to receive.

Givers of time, givers of love, givers of money, givers of effort are always much happier than ungivers.  Yes you can grow tired of giving, you can feel like you give too much, you can be in a work place or a marriage where you get little in return, but it is still better to give.

Givers are filled with joy.  Their giving keeps their focus on others and off of themselves.  Those who give have discovered the secret of joy in this life.  We were created to give, to live outside of ourselves.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
