Biscotti anyone? On giving.

I was over at Biscotti Brain, who had this to say.

And I have such a clear picture of myself in the world at this moment. It isn't pretty. I sit with a smug smile on my face, slowly licking my fork between bites. I've given others a mere bite from my plate, but I sit (uncontentedly) with the rest before me. And I still complain that someone else got a bigger portion than me.

I've just re-read my entry here, and just plonking that quote there doesn't make Biscotti Brain sound too good:-) Click on the link above to read the full entry. It really struck me because it is such a good visual picture of me also. Sitting with a big plate full, giving a bit, and yet being uncontent keeping everything for myself. I think, possibly, life would be better, fuller, more fulfilling, in giving and sharing as much of myself, pouring myself out, time, money, stuff, gifts, to others.

Everywhere I turn, preachers at church, random blogs I've clicked over to, people are talking about giving and sharing and the poor. I've got to be learning something here, God must be trying to teach me something.

Two of the neighbours (down the street a bit) kids just dropped in and asked for something to eat. They didn't have any brekky today. The kids who went to school had brekky.
