Happy Sunday pals

People guard their possessions for fear they will need them tomorrow, but this is foolish, for fear creates need.

Some give to receive recognition, but their gifts are unwholesome. Others own little but give it all, and because they believe in life, their coffers are never empty. Those who give with joy are rewarded with joy. Those who give with pain are baptized in that pain. Those who give with none of these motivations make God smile on the earth. It is good to give when asked, but it is better to give when unasked, open-handedly, withholding nothing. Happy Sunday.

Thanks! so u r saying the giver is happier.

Actually you ask the wrong question. When a giver freely "gives" and a receiver freely "receives" then both are equally happy.
