Ive given anonymously to many people and never uttered a word to anyone about it. I found out tonight that...there is really just no way you can know how it feels to truly give, for Christmas. Unless you take the plunge. I was already over-extended and *WELL* out of range of being able to pay my credit card off next month, and the next etc...but it had been lingering in my head the whole time... I need to check on Mrs.Smith and see if shes been able to get presents for her kids. I already knew the answer (weeks ago) but shtupid me waits till the last minute and of course she had nothing. Cant even make her regular bill payments. So I call her up, end up giving her my cc info but after all was said and done... The extra financial stress didnt matter to me anymore. Her words and tearful expressions of gratitude... I wouldve done it 10 times over. My heart broke and softened, in a good way. A way that no financial burden can come close to. I know that by writing this, it will bring people to give me praise and thanks. I realize that in and of itself can be considered as a self seeking reward for me (please just save it) BUT, the real reason Im posting this is the after-effect of the gift. I was so humbled afterwards that I had to post this to encourage others to find the true meaning of Christmas as I have tonight. Its difficult, believe me I know but after youve done it, the reality of what youve done brings forth a spirit of immeasurable truth and wellness to your own heart. And to that I humbly say Merry Christmas to all of my friends and anyone else who may read this.
