“Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no
time and effort searching for peace and contentment
and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is
no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.
Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume
you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops
on yourself.”

Published: Saturday | April 25, 2009
..
Replacing a stolen bus that was used to transport sick and disabled children cared for by the Mustard Seed Communities: $1.9 million.

Acceptance As Giving
Allowing Ourselves To Receive
..
Giving and receiving are part of the same cycle, and we each give and receive in our own ways. But we can lose our balance when we try to be too controlling on either side of the cycle. On the receiving end, we may feel that we don’t deserve the effort made if what we gave was easy for us to give. But perhaps there is a different lesson there for us. We may be receiving not only gratitude, but a chance to see the world through the eyes of another. We may be learning that just because we gave easily, it doesn’t diminish its value. Or perhaps the universe is giving us an example to hold close to our hearts, to encourage us on some future day when our own generous act of giving is not met with a visible act of receiving. When we can allow ourselves to receive as well as give, we do our part to keep the channels of abundance open for ourselves and others.
..
Sometimes we may find ourselves struggling to respond to others’ gifts in the same ways—like responding to an expensive present with something equally expensive, or feeling like we have to throw a dinner party for someone who has thrown one for us. But

Students of the Victor Dixon High School in Mandeville rendered selfless service to the aged and indigent last week.
..
During two days of community service, the students visited several homes for the aged and the Manchester Infirmary.
..
For 17-year-old Tanya Scott, a grade-11 student of the Adventist-owned institution, “the experience was motivating”.
..
“I’m very happy I got the opportunity to help those elderly persons,” said Tanya. “As an individual, I felt motivated. It is good to see the smile on their faces when a young person comes and talk to them and listens to their story. It is something I would love to do again and again.”

“Touch the World One Person at a Time”
Got Friends?
…
Mary Southerland
…
“And so I am giving a new commandment to you now — love each other just as much as I love you. Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:34-35
…
We all need friends. In fact, we were created to need each other. In his book, “The Broken Heart”, Dr. James J. Lynch shows that lonely people live significantly shorter lives than the general population. Yes, there are different levels of friendships, friends we see occasionally and friends with whom we share everything. There are even different seasons of friendships. But at the core of every healthy friendship is a giving heart.

“Every day the path to your own spirituality starts with clarifying who you are
and what you want. Not just things–things are easy. I mean the stuff that
really matters. Life isn’t just about what you can have; it’s about what you
have to give. What kind of person do you want to be?” — Oprah Winfrey
