Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome to another great day! Full of possibility and full of love you just need to reach out, give it and receive it. Love works that way, you have to give it first to expect to receive it. It works that way in many things in life. Give first, receive next.
That is my Thursday Theory for the day.
Give first, receive next
Just remember that sometimes the gift you get back was the giving in the first place.
The giver always, when the gift was with no expectation, gets that warm feeling just because they were able to give in the first place.
Sure, almost always you give a smile and get a smile back. It is a kind of response to the smile in the first place.
A good heart felt laugh will often cause a stir in another so that they are giving you a laugh back in return.
The blessings that we lift up to God, always returns in someway right back to our home and heart.
Luke 6:38 ESV
...give, and it will be given to you. Good measure,
pressed down, shaken together, running over,
will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use
it will be measured back to you.”
***********
Proverbs 11:24-25
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.
There has been many wise quotes on the subject as well.....
We must not only give what we have;
we must also give what we are.
~ Desire Joseph Mercier
and
“A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.”
~Albert Einstein
How many times have you reminded yourself today that you are not alone. You are not an island but an institution of giving.
You give first you receive next.
Now if only our elected officials followed this simple principle.
You give first, respect, time, effort, results.
You receive next, respect, time, effort, results and maybe the world will just spin a little easier for more.
The gift is always from the giver. But sometime the giver gets more just from the process.
The effort in giving is always worth every drop of effort the process leads you through.
Give first, receive next not a bad theory is it?
May your smiles abound.
May your joy lift another spirit.
May you stay hungry and stay foolish!
May your heart be warmed because it always was.
Smiles sent your way this day and always!
Happy Thursday everyone! : )
