In God's Care 4/14/2013 The greatest mystery of life is that satisfaction is felt not by those who take and make demands but by those who give and make sacrifices. ~ Nikolay Berdyayev
What a different world this would be if we knew that seeking fame and fortune, and striving for gain would only bring us discord and misery. Beginning with childhood, we all receive messages that getting is the purpose of living; we must have romantic love , sexual fulfillment, possession, and prestige to be happy. This is emphasized constantly by various forms of advertising, business, and entertainment.
God has a different message; Help one another. We learn from experience in our program that happiness comes from giving ~ whether it be time , talent, money , or other things. Experience tells us that giving what we have to help someone else makes us a lot happier than keeping it to ourselves.
Today I will put my emphasis on giving.
