â¤ï¸ Learning to Receive.......
Had a sweet brief chat last night with kind neighbor who often shared her homemade soup with us & many of our o
ther neighbors. She is a huge GIVER, but seems to find it a bit difficult to receive.
🥣 She once again rang our bell with soup & a piece of a delicious potato dish she had made. I asked her if she had spoken with her husband about our wanting to take them out to dinner to a lovely local restaurant & she told me he was all for it, but she felt funny about our wanting to treat them.
That led to our little chat about giving & receiving, and how it’s kind to receive, as it allows someone to give, which makes the giver feel good. She agreed. We will be dining together 😊

If we refuse to receive from others, we stagnate the free flow of nature.
Not receiving boost our ego too.
May this inspire others to rethink and receive from others.
