Somehow, not only for christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and the lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessions
Return to make you glad.
John Greenleaf Whittier
Beautiful, and so true.

So true. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeletenice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...the Lord's blessing is like a circle, there is no beginning and there is no end...It just keeps flowing...Funny how when we share or bless someone, it just never runs out. The more it seems to multiply...[Just like when Jesus fed the 5,000 with just a few loaves of bread and fishes]... God is awesome! Have a great weekend.
