The Joy of Giving

Loving you, Betty Lue

May 3, 2005

When we are sick, we seek to get well. When we feel separate from ourselves and our Source, we want to get connected. When we feel lost, we try to get home. When we are suffering, we want to get comfort. When we are lonely, we want to get friends. When we are afraid, we what to get reassurance. When we feel unappreciated, we want to get approval. When we feel dark and despairing, we may seek to get enlightened. When we are confused, we may try to get advice and clarity. The personality is always seeking to get something that is missing. When egos give, it is with the intention of getting something we feel is lacking. Getting is tricky business, because "getting" from someone begets their wanting to "get" from us.

When we are well, we give. When we are connected, we give. When are at home, we give. When we are happy, we give. When we have true friends, we give. When we are valued, we give. When we are enlightened, we give. When we are clear, we give. When we are on purpose, we give. When we are in love, we give.

When we remember our wholeness and holiness, we give. In our giving, we receive from the joy of giving. Sharing what we have and know and are, increases what we have and know and are.

Life is for giving. We are the gifts. It is in unconditional giving, without expectation, that we recognize that we already have it all.

The only forgiveness we really need, is to forgive ourselves for withholding our givingness. I forgive myself for thinking I need to get something. I forgive myself for thinking is need to get. I forgive myself for thinking I need. I forgive myself for thinking. I forgive myself. I forgive. I give myself abundant joy by giving All.

Loving you, Betty Lue
