Wednesdays Kindness

Good Morning Friends,
??We always begin the week with good intentions, but sometimes get wrapped up in everything that’s going on around us especially during the holiday season and we lose sight of what we initially planned. Today is an opportunity to reassess the direction you’re headed in and change it if need be. In this season of giving, make time each week to give to those around you; some of your time, an open ear to listen, some positive recognition or even a smile to brighten their day. It doesn't have to cost you anything but time and remember that karma brings back to us what we give from out hearts.

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
??Kahlil Gibran

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more."

HOW POOR WE ARE????
?
One day a father, of a very wealthy family, took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from the trip, the father asked his son,"How was the trip?"
"It was great Dad!"
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered,
" I saw we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
With this the boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added,
"Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Special Day
Over breakfast, a woman said to her husband, “I’ll bet you don’t know what day this is.”
“Of course I do,” he answered, as if offended, and left for the office.
At 10:00 a.m., a dozen red roses arrived at the house. At 1:00 p.m., a two-pound box of chocolates was delivered. The designer dress arrived at 3:00.
When her husband came home, the woman ran to meet him and threw her arms around his neck, “I’ve never had a more wonderful Groundhog Day in my life!”.
