“Pay it forward is an expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying it to others instead of to the original benefactor. The concept is old, but the phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight [Wikipedia.com].”
Many times in our lives we all have had challenges to face that sometimes steal our joy. A spouse, family member, friend or pet have needs to be met and require help from others. If we have benefitted or been blessed by financial stability, we could consider ourselves ‘lucky’ or we can give back to those who have had a harder time than us.
The people and animals on this page are at that point in their lives. I know, because I am going through this myself right now. I pray every day for guidance and strength, meditate to receive Divine guidance and serve my community by volunteering at a local food bank and inner city youth center.
Prayer, meditation and service are the divine path to fulfillment. Living to do your best by sharing your talents, skills and abilities are the fulfillment in itself. It is living from inner peace; understanding the needs, wants, desires and expectations of others; choosing joy over acrimony and sharing Divine love with them.
Paying it forward means that you recognize the omniverse as it is; a divine connection between everything everywhere. Whatever you sow, you shall reap. Share your talents, skills and abilities with others as well as your financial blessings if you can.
Everyone on this page has needs to be met and you can pray for them, repost this page or contribute. Do what you can to help and edify your life and the lives of others. Be the solution more than the problem.
When you give from your heart you are activating the laws of the omniverse to reflect back to you more of what you desire. Thank you all for praying, reposting or contributing. May God always bless you and your families. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D. |
