Have you ever given a gift that turned out better than you thought?
You thought they would like it, but man, they loved it.
They danced around the office.
They told everyone.
It was the thought that counted.
And you gave good thought.
Yesterday evening I sat down to write The Daily Tithe.
Way out of my rhythm.
Kinda in the mood, but not.
It didn’t feel like other days.
To make feelings worse, I wasn’t feeling any of my ideas.
Thinking and scraping.
Scraping and thinking.
By the time I finished proofreading..
“Wow, that turned out better than I thought”
To make feelings better, a friend reposted the same Daily Tithe to her instagram account.
Later she messaged me.. “I love The Daily Tithe”
”Wow, that turned out better than I thought.”
And the gift you have..
You might as well Just Give It.
Just Might turn out better than you thought.
This line "the gift you doubt is the one they'll share" gets so directly and precisely to the heart of truth about human service, but also the challenge we all face in being of service. I'm taking note of this statement, because . . . I want to share it!
