Giving, for the sake of giving
is almost a lost spiritual discipline.
Think of the last time
you just gave someone something
just because you wanted to.
Birthdays don't count.
Anniversaries don't count.
Making up for something you felt guilty about,
or even giving to help someone feel better,
don't count.
Giving because someone needed money
doesn't count.
Not that there's anything wrong with giving
for any of those reasons, but when did you
just give for the sheer joy of giving.
How do we give from a place of joy?
How do we choose joy?
