One f the great blessings that is discovered more and more each day is the fact that no matter how much we give in life, there are always opportunities to receive ... much more than we can give.
This give and take can indeed be symbiotic (and often is) and we come to appreciate it more and more as we continue to give of ourselves in selfless service to those in need.
Sometimes the 'giving back' comes in the form of people's appreciation, voiced in words but more often in actions, and sometimes the 'receiving' comes from sources unexpected, and totally unrelated to those who receive acts of kindness, charity and love from our hands. Wherever the sources and aims of these acts are, the truth is that there is a kind of energy that is exchanged, a life-giving force that keeps us going, and which in the end can only result in us giving thanks.
To all those who give of themselves for the good of others, and to the One who shares with us the energy and blessing to do good, we should always be grateful.
