Try being a blessing to someone everyday and you'll see your life will be filled with so many blessings you won't be able to contain them all.
I read a story of a young boy probably 7years of age, who lived in a rural environment. His family was extremely poor. One hot afternoon , he was at a small shop admiring a pair of shoes, as he stood there barefooted and sad, a woman came along and said " Young man what are you staring intently at"?

Under his breath he said, "Well, i was only praying and asking God to give me a new pair of shoes". Without hesitation the woman took him into the store and very gently and lovingly washed his feet. Then she put a brand new pair of socks on him and told him to pick three new pairs of shoe. He was more than excited for he has never owned a pair of shoe before.

After the woman paid for the purchases, she returned to the boy. He looked at her in disbelief and , with tears running down his cheeks, he said, "Lady, can i ask you a question? Are you God's wife?
You're never more like God when you give, when you take time for people, when you do something good for somebodywho can never repay you.
Never let everything be about me, me, me! Real joy comes from giving. Pay attention to those around you, listen to what they are saying and remember truexlove is backed up by action.

The good book says 'let you light so shine that men may see your goodworks snd glorify your father which is in heaven'. Great piece

Dear @cheryldavis

Never let everything be about me, me, me! Real joy comes from giving. Pay attention to those around you, listen to what they are saying and remember truexlove is backed up by action.

Some times our leaders forget to do this which is very important. This is what connect them together and automatically bring peace

Yeah, most of the leaders we have today only thinks about themselves with no regards for the populace which is quite pathetic

Real joy comes from giving

Sadly, most people still do not understand this

I pray they do cos twill make the world a better place

Thanks for sharing this. @cheryldavis

Doing something good for others is nothing but an investment. It will come back to you one day, no doubt. So keep investing :) #steemitachievers
