“The receiving is in the giving.” What a wonderful life
lesson made simple. It doesn’t seem to be a true statement. It runs contrary to
our keep-things-fair, what-about-my-needs mentality. It’s kind of like a peanut
butter and dill pickle sandwich. It sounds awful, but once you taste it, it is
surprisingly good. I read this quote in a blog that was shared with me this
week and I think everyone should read it. Our defensiveness can destroy our
relationships. Over the years Dana and I have learned that lesson well and we
can testify that giving works and feels so much better than taking, regardless
of the outcome. It is just exactly the way Jesus taught us to live. When we let
go of our need to justify our feelings and fight back, we can truly begin to
love from the heart.
