Cookies are baking in the house today, oatmeal raisin and chocolate peanut butter. I have friends coming over to visit today. I like to have some special treat to share with them. We share our thoughts, laughs and experiences.
Sharing is caring. Can you really fully enjoy something without sharing it with someone else? When we share, we include others in whatever we're going thru. Joys are more joyful and sorrows are better understood.
Sharing the last cookie lets the other person know you're thinking about more than yourself. That is what we're called to do, 'love thy neighbor as thy self.' There is no thought of self-centeredness when you share.
Dare to share...your wealth, your time, your possessions, your faith, and more. It is better to give than to receive so bless yourself by blessing others first.
Well, you must feel awfully blessed, my friend, because your giving spirit exceeds most. We were recipients of those cookies, and the fellowship, and the caring. It is a privilege to call you "Friend," and a joy to read the uplifting, convicting, and encouraging posts each day. Keep up the good word!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post, Angie. We are closest to those with whom we spend our time. I know that was a very special treat for all....not just the cookies, but to share with one another. My turn's a-coming....see you soon! Love you, T.
ReplyDeleteYou share and think about the needs of others more than anyone I know. Bless you. Dad
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy!! Funny how that works that when we think about ourselves less we are often happiest! Thanks for your example of turning your focus outwards!
