Cold to the touch.

Practice Giving


15 Jan

Practice Giving, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

From Wikipedia: “The Cedar Waxwing eats berries and sugary fruit year-round… When the end of a twig holds a supply of berries that only one bird at a time can reach, members of a flock may line up along the twig and pass berries beak to beak down the line so that each bird gets a chance to eat.”

“Practice giving, and people will give to YOU. They will pour into YOUR laps a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. For with the measure that YOU are measuring out, they will measure out to YOU in return.”

Luke 6:38

Freedom

Freedom, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

Freedom does not exist in a vacuum but in an atmosphere of love and kindness. One cannot be free holding on to selfish desires and egocentric views. Love, be kind, be humble and let go. Be free and set free.
