Stories of Kindness from Around the World

This morning, as I saw a beautiful garden with gleaming flowers greeting a new shinning sun, I started thinking about the service that we all need and we all offer to each other. Every single thing in this universe is able to produce something for someone else; despite our innate freedom, we all depend on one another. We give and we receive.

I thought how those flowers serve bees and other insects by giving them pollen, and with this little act, the little bees can go and produce their honey -served in our breakfast on hot cakes,  and so many other dishes!  When the bees fly around to other places, they take pollen to fertilize other flowers and make them grow.

I was thinking about the service we give when, by doing our jobs with joy, we help other people. As an executive, as a milkman, as a doctor, as an office clerk, as a lawyer, as a painter, as a writer, as a housewife, as a cook, whatever it is that we do, there's implicit service that, when done in joy, uplifts others with a good result. Beyond getting paid for what we do, someone, somehow, depends on what we do -just think about how many souls are involved when we travel in a plane so we get to our destination and get our lugagge sound and safe -even if it gets lost sometimes! In a restaurant when we eat, in a surgery room when someone we love is going through a surgery!

Taking it beyond, just think about your children and how you serve them just by loving them. When we love, we are serving. We are feeding others feelings, we are empowering, we are supporting. We all need love. We all feel good with a smile. What a service!

What kind of service are we giving?
Let it be as beautiful as a gleaming flower greeting a new shinning sun!
