When I think of “giving” the first thing that comes to mind is “Money” and “How much?” but it is much more than money. There are the gifts of time, talents, kindness, understanding, openness, acceptance, etc. Giving, no matter which kind, is important as it is a way to care for the world and the people in it. We all have the opportunity to leave the world a better place than we found it by giving. Even more than that, if we give with a prayerful heart, then we get a gift of peacefulness. The gift of giving comes when you give from the heart. Prayerfully considering what your are going to give then giving that with joy. No matter what way you decide to give, try praying about what you should be giving to the world to help make it a better place, then give with your heart. Imagine what the world would look like if we all gave something. We can start to see that change by each one of us choosing to give to our world. Give from the heart and the gift of peace and goodness is yours forever. The picture of the butterfly symbolizes all those things we naturally give by just being who we are already. Butterflies give beauty to the earth and make us smile by just being a butterfly.
