Daily Word

Giving
I give, and I am greatly blessed in return.
I may have received help from friends, family, or even strangers at a time I needed assistance. I give thanks that they have been there for me and for others.
I, too, am open to giving to those who need help in everyday and unusual circumstances. Whether someone needs a ride to the doctor, a sitter for a child, or a meal at the end of a pay period, my inner guidance reveals what and how I am to give.
The wondrous, miraculous gift from this experience is that I cannot give without receiving in turn--much more than I have given. As I acknowledge and appreciate the dedication of others to be of service, I myself am encouraged to give. I offer what I have of my time, talents, and skills.
"Give liberally and be ungrudging when you do so, for on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake."--Deuteronomy 15:10

Giving is not for getting back. Giving is unconditional, because it was so freely given to me, that I can never repay what was given to me, so I try to the best of my ability to pay it forward.

The woman that brought me into recovery, took me to my first meeting, which I recognized as a good thing for my dad and my ex-husband, and found my first apartment for me at 6 months sober. The sad thing was that she could not stay sober herself, yet she carried a great message to me.
