There are some things you can give that give you something in return. Last night as I was settling in for bed I requested my nightly smooch from Jane. I said to her, "Did you know it's one of the things you can give and get at the same time?" She said, I love you Sam" in a tone that begged me to say "What?" She said, Only you would break down a kiss to such detail". What she refers to is my constant analytical thinking. It really never shuts off, not even when I am sleeping. It works away in my subconscious. God uses it. The same is true when I am in the shower. I pop my phone in a short glass (to amplify the sound) and turn on my music. This morning my mind began reflecting on last night's comment about things given and received at the same time. When we set out to bless others we often find we are blessed ourselves. We end up feeling good about the good we pass along. What occurred to me in the shower is the same is also true when we curse someone, belittle someone, or in some way try to make the appear less than what God intended them to be. At that moment, we are being less than God intended us to be. Sing a song of grace. Live a life of love. Speak words of life. Let our spirits be lifted to the heavens as they are meant to be. May the faces coming toward you light up because at the very sight of them... your light will shine too...
