Generous people know contentment even if they don’t possess
everything, and they don’t mind if their “blessings” decrease every time they
share. Perhaps their drive to give is anchored on their love of God. Or maybe
they also believe in positive karma – what goes around comes around, and even
better. It is also possible that the simply want to share because helping makes
them feel good about themselves. Whatever their motivations are for giving a
piece of themselves to others, bottom line is, they are wonderful people worth
emulating to make the world a better place.
This March, my daughter and my parents had the chance to
tour Baguio City, all expenses shouldered by a blessed woman that is family to
us. I was unable to join them because I was about to give birth. In
my mind, I am really thankful to their “travel sponsor” because, number one, my
parents were able to get some time off from their monotonous routine; and
number two, my daughter surely experienced something new that I equate with
learning.

While some people would have to work their asses off to save
a little to finance their travel, my parents were able to enjoy such benefit
from sheer invitation. It must be God’s way of rewarding them for being good
people.
I pray that the person who sponsored my family’s Baguio
getaway would continuously reap more in life. THANK YOU.
