Choose today or another day of your selection and be generous; give yourself away in some fashion. Donate to your local assistance ministry or food bank. They love donations for it enables them to buy needed items, things people have not donated. Give someone your spot in the waiting line for groceries, at the post office or other places.

A pastor’s wife I know came in the local post office today. She saw the line and turned toward the door to leave. I spoke up and said she could have my spot in the waiting line. She was thrilled. And, told me I made her day. I thought she gives and gives, time for someone to bless her.

Give yourself away today. Open doors for others. Smile even if they do not smile first. Buy someone coffee or a cool refreshing drink. Help a senior open their car door or in whatever way they may need assistance.

It’s almost the 4th of July. A time we as a Country come together to celebrate the United States of America and join in on our nations birthday born in 1776, 241 years ago. Is everything perfect? Of course not. We are still working out the kinks of our Democracy. Even still, we can come together and celebrate our differences in love and generosity.

Give yourself away in some way. It will spread good-will and feelings of being blessed and loved. The giver receives double and a warm sentiment inside. Have a great day and weekend.
