Not by Accident: Joy at Christmas and in Life -Episode15
from Not by Accident · host Thomas H Wicke
Is joy in giving or receiving? Where Christmas is concerned, children will definitely say it is in the receiving. Adults and maturing teens will likely feel otherwise. While this is evident at Christmas, it is more true, although more difficult, in our lives every day. To give of ourselves, our talents and our time, to make another's life easier or to lift someone who is carrying a heavy burden; to set aside our own wants or needs and place others ahead of ourselves; to give... that is the secret of life. In the end, we either take from life, we consume, we accumulate as much as we can OR we can have an experience like Gary from Long Island (in this experience from the Dennis Prager show).
