The Day I Learned Giving

Giving unconditional love is receiving a joyful and grateful gift. This wonderful story written by Dan Clerk has deeply touched my heart. We spend a lot of money buying things which we may not need. And there are many people who may not have enough money to meet their daily needs and to enjoy the simple things of life. There are also people who find great joy by helping and serving others. As I was growing up in a relatively poor family my friends from relatively rich families would come to our house at lunch time. My mother will offer them simple inexpensive chapatis-bread. It was a gift from her heart. My friends loved to come to eat such simple food. My mother used to say the simple food offered from her heart tasted sweeter and more fulfilling to her. I will never forget seeing deep joy in her eyes. And she taught us that deep contentment and joy comes from serving others unconditionally. I am very grateful to her for offering such precious gifts to me from her loving heart. It's by giving we recive. Amen! Jagdish P Dave
