Joy of Giving
The beauty of living is in joy of giving. One does not live by himself alone. Joy of giving is being with others that makes life more meaningful.
As my kids grow up, I educate or teach them that they should put in mind the act of giving is a wonderful thing. But when you give, do not ask and wait for something in exchange for that will mean that you are not sincere. When we extend our hands to a person in need, this person will someday extend his to others. A wonderful cycle of giving and helping will occur, with us someday on the receiving end.

But if we give help just to be a known person, then better not to give. No heavenly reward awaits a “give with a speaker” because he has already received his worldly reward which is borrowed fame. A person who gives freely and sincerely is loved but his fellowmen and has a place reserved for him in God’s paradise.
One example for this is a politician, when the election time is past approaching; they give anything to the electors and ask them in return when election time comes to vote for them. And after election when they are already proclaimed as a winner some politicians don’t ever say to thank you and others are hiding because they get already what they want to be.
Joy of giving without asking in return has a lace to everyone’s heart, and we can sleep in the night with a smile in our hearts.
