Day 2819: The Generous Giver and the Gracious Receiver

julie2

Kindness makes my day whether i’m on the giving or receiving end – that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 12 : 39 PM on day 2819 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, have breakfast and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet –raised $14 569 only $4 181 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to reach my new goal of helping 75 kids with Clubfoot by June 17, 2018.

 

Yesterday we received a notice from the Post Office saying there was a package for me (I love getting mail and guessing what it could be and who it could be from [I’m like a big kid]) so this morning my dad picked it up for me and it was books and a movie from my friend Julie in the USA with a sweet card attached (thanks so much Julie) I LOVE giving but today I was reminded that life is a balance of being a generous giver and a gracious receiver.

Day 1706: How being on the receiving end of generosity has changed me

Giving changes both the lives of the givers and the receivers – that’s what I have realized.

 

It’s 12 :  05 PM on day 1706 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Hosea 5, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –Egyptian hieroglyphs—a system in which pictures represent sounds—first appeared around 3100 B.C. Cuneiform writing emerged in Mesopotamia not too long after, around 2400 B.C. –  feed myself egg with bread for breakfast  and promote my Educate Generations campaign– $2 919 raised so far so grateful (thanks everyone 🙂 ) .

 

Last night I was thinking about how being on the receiving end of the world’s generosity has changed me as a human being people from all over the world (most of whom I’ve never met in person) have really shown up for me they’ve donated money, time, social media platforms…. you name it they’ve given me their all and perhaps because of that I want to help everybody that I can it’s very hard to be stingy after you’ve been on the receiving end of overwhelming generosity. Thank you to everyone who has supported me you gave of your resources and in the process forever changed me as a human being.

Day 1446: Giving and Receiving

Those who receive are more likely to give and those who give are more likely to receive – that’s what I realized this morning.

 

It’s 12  : 36 PM on day 1446 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed  to brush my teeth, pray,   feed myself a peanut butter sandwich and a banana for breakfast,  read Psalm 134, donate to help my friend’s friend,  publish my Disability of the Day feature and  have a foot massage for my foot infection.

 

This morning I realized those who receive are more likely to give and those who give are more likely to receive whenever somebody asks me for something I will more often than not give it to them because I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of the kindness of others.
