Running over

"Give, and it will be given to you.
A good measure, pressed down,
shaken together and running over 
will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you."
Luke 6:38

This is how I've experienced it, not least here on A-lag. I feel like from the little that I've given here that I've gained ever so much more in return! I'll definitely be returning home a much richer person than when I left - in friends, memories and life in general! Sometimes it's the simple things that are easy to take for granted, like a smile or a good word, that mean the most! I remember Kåre saying that those who gave always had enough to give, monetarily and otherwise, and that if I find I don't have much (money), perhaps it's because I haven't given enough. Likewise, if I find a lack of joy, perhaps it's because I haven't been giving enough away! 

"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others 
cannot keep it from themselves." 
~ James Barri
