Hi, STARLIT!

I was just looking at my pings and saw your thought-provoking post.

I wonder if the two mindsets of scarcity and abundance correlate with selfishness and selflessness? Seems like they might. I know that when I’m struggling with my own selfishness (much more often than I’d care to tell so no asking allowed! 😬😂😂) I’m also focused on what I do or don’t have, and when I’m focused on God and the needs of others I’m much more at peace with whatever situation I’m in because I’m thinking of the other, either another person or God - not me me me.

”So if you partner with another person and give tremendously, one way or another you’re going to get back more than you gave.”

So true! Isn’t the idea of losing if we give too much the first block on the path to giving our entire selves to God? That worry of losing so many things we love, whether it’s material items or relationships or health… But when the person can just let go and dive in to that relationship there’s so much more there than was in her life before! God is so Good!!

So now, enough of what I think (me me me! 👀🫤) and I thank you again for posting such a good thing to think and pray on today.

So glad to see you! 😁❤️

With all the sickness and death touching our hearts especially now with our family and friends in need, they need our lights. We all have them to share. I certainly need to be reminded myself Pax. Thanks all for what you have shared with me. I really appreciate everything. Hugs.
