On Creating Joy for others
“The best things in life are the joys we give away.” - Rebecca Barlow Jordan
When you compliment a child in front of his or her parents, have you noticed how the child’s face beams with joy?
When you send a letter or a card to a friend who you know is having a difficult time, have you felt the appreciation in their voice?
When someone says, I really like that (thing) you made and you give it to them, have you noted the surprise on their face?
When someone needs a visit, an outing, a playtime or just a door held for them, it is an opportunity to give joy.
When someone is sitting alone and you speak to them, you have just given the besr thing you can to them. You have given joy in the form of personal attention and a care sent in their direction. You have given them joy, and in doing so you have given yourself one of the very best things in life.
