Givingness

Here's a wonderful message I found from Rev. Diane Russell, reminding me that it's the everyday, authentic gift of self that changes the world, one person, and one moment at a time.


"Givingness is the nature of God, and It gives to us from pure Love. Because our nature is the nature of God, it is also our nature to be giving, to be generous. Giving comes from the heart, not from a sense of obligation or duty. The gifts that mean the most are the gifts that are you - your attention, your love, your smile. This is easy when you come from your authentic self - the Divine at your core.
Remember that you are the gift, and make your giving your joy.
Remember that you are the Light, and your light makes a difference to me, and to each other, and to the world."
