Day 54: GIVING
Practice generously giving by sharing time, talent, energy and
material resources with others. Whatever you give, do it without
thinking of getting anything in return. Do it as a service, not
reluctantly, but with joy. That is a real gift.
Whatever you give, be sure it is from the heart:
“Not in what we give, but what we share,
For the gift without the giver is bare.”
Today: I will clean out my closet, bureau drawers, or garage and give away things I'm not using. I will give my time to a volunteer organization and my financial resources to a cause that supports and practices nonviolence.
