Dear Lori,
wheel of life

In this mid-month, mini newsletter, we will explore one of the 8 major areas of the Wheel of Life. This month we will focus on Spiritual Awareness.

Giving Back to the World
Last month I was participating in a day of prayer and fasting with my ministry partners from Unchained Heart Ministries. It was about 12:30 PM and I was starving. All I could focus on was my need for food. In an effort to occupy my mind, I decided to go get the mail.

It was an ordinary mail day - lots of junk mail. One of the pieces of mail was from Food for the Poor. Because I've given to them in the past, I regularly get mail from them. Normally, I recycle immediately. This day, however, I decided to open the envelope.

Inside was a story of a poor mother of 3 children. The mother shared that most days her children go to school hungry. She sits on the streets begging for money so her children can eat. I was instantly reminded of my hungry tummy, but suddenly realized that my hunger is voluntary. This mom and her children have no choice about whether or not they will eat. In that moment, I was moved to contribute what I could to help feed these hungry children.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our own problems (or hunger) that we forget about all the ways we can give back to this world, and all the benefits we receive in doing so. You don't have to give money and you don't have to give to the poor - although that is good.

You can give your time, kindness, love, talents, skills, smile, positive words, forgiveness, grace or any other gift to anybody in this world. The benefits to other people are obvious, but what about the benefits you will receive:

  • You will be blessed with abundance
  • You will have a sense of fulfillment
  • You will have an opportunity to further explore your life purpose
  • Loving others increases your self-esteem
  • You will have a knowing that you are doing your part to make the world a better place
  • Other people will follow your lead

How do I know these things are true? Because I have the best job in the world - a job that enables me to give back to moms like yourself all over the world. What a blessing!
