The Heart of Giving

Wednesday, November 29, 2017

The spirit of the season
is generosity and gratitude:
share your prosperity and give thanks for your adversity.

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for Day 1443
"Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first." What are your thoughts on this?

The Heart of Giving

It's that time of year again,
when people remember
that the spirit of the season
is a giving heart
that shares their joy,
their blessings,
their abundance,
and their gratitude
with others.

The heart of giving,
the secret of attracting
the blessings of the season,
is to give all year long.

A person doesn't have to wait
for a special holiday
to share,
the special holidays,
such as Christmas,
Ayyám-i-Há,
or whatever day your faith
sets aside for giving,
are intended as reminders,
and to encourage
individuals to make
an extra effort
to share.
