Joy
I expand my own joy as I share my blessings with others.
The
poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote: “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I
awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was
joy.” During the holidays, I remember the true spirit of the season,
which is the spirit of giving.
My service to others can be as simple as sharing a smile with a stranger or sharing words of gratitude. It might be as involved as volunteering at a homeless shelter or offering childcare to a harried friend.
With a full heart I willingly and lovingly share my joy with others today. As I focus on abundant generosity rather than seeking or getting this season, my spirit is uplifted. I experience joy and peace—the greatest gifts of the season!
