This is merely a continuation of the previous post that I was not able to finish because either I'm too sleepy to continue or mind was simply exhausted. Anyway...
Give.
You have heard of the line, It is better to give than to receive. It is biblical, isn't it. You have heard also of the song, "why don't you give love on Christmas day?". Truly, giving is a noble purpose. But more than the act per se. Giving is love in action, if done from the heart. For God loves a cheerful giver. Give according to your heart desires. Give according to your limitations as pragmatists would say. But giving like what the poor woman did in Jesus' times when she gave her all and left nothing for herself, this is giving in faith. And this is the kind of giving that God wants us to emulate.
But that is not what the article is about. It just says that when you give, you certainly make a difference in this world. Give without expecting anything in return. And by being a generous giver, God will surely reward you for your kindness.
How will you know if you will not give it a try? Before we can become experts in anything, we give that something a try. Then when we become used to it. We keep doing it until it becomes second nature to us.
But more than trying. The article says that life is about trying. In a sense, it is another word for risk although in a gentler term. Try if you must. Try and try until you succeed. That is the essence of trying.
Laugh.
Laughter is the best medicine. It's a grreat stress reliever. The world badly needs to laugh these days what with all the problems besetting it. As if this is an understatement, there is now what you call a Laughter Therapy. The practitioner well knows what he is talking about. Our body needs it. Our mind needs it. When you laugh, it somehow relieves us of the tension, makes us forget our sad situation and cures us of our ills, mentally, physically, emotionally.
Try laughter. It may just be the thing you need to cope in this world. Lol!
