The Giver and Receiver or a taker !







I watched this honey bee feeding to receive its nectar!

The flowers give honey and the bee receives it. 

What the bee does is to facilitate the pollination of flowers! 

The receiver becomes a giver!

I stayed wondering on this cycle of giving, receiving and giving!

Any one who receives has an opportunity to become a giver.  

Jesus of Nazareth once visited the home of Zacheaus. Jesus pronounced blessings upon him and his family. In response, Zacheaus, who had wrongly amassed wealth, offered to give away his riches to the poor.  From being a taker, he moved on to be a giver!

A good example of Jesus giving, and  Zacheaus receiving! Zacheaus later became a giver form being a habitual taker!

A taker ends up possessing; A giver opens the way to multiply while giving. The boy in the miracle of the feeding of five thousand by Jesus of Nazareth, recorded in the gospel of St John, gave his five loaves and two fish to be used. Jesus multiplied them to be enough for the five thousand. There were twelve baskets left after all had enough food!

Giving is an act of offering in gratitude!
