MIXED BAGGAGE

[MajestyJo]

Love is a force. It is not a result; it is a cause. It is not a product; it produces. It is a power, like money, or steam or electricity. It is valueless unless you can give something else by means of it.

—Anne Morrow Lindbergh

My thought since I got up today was "Connect with someone."
When I read Just For Today this morning, it talked about isolation and I realize that the only person who I talked with for three days was my sponsor last night.

The last line of this quote gave me pause for thought. Not sure I understand the whole concept of what they meant yet because I haven't been awake long.

Yet it talks about giving, exchange of energy between on person and another. Giving from a place of love is a thing of power. It is a force being exchanged with others that we all may grow in body, mind and spirit. When we isolate, we are cut off from the spirit of love and isolate our soul.

In order to give, we need to receive. We don`t always get back from the same source. Maybe the person we gave to is unable to give and in a place that does not allow him the understanding of Spiritual living.

We sometimes base our giving on money and what we can get out of it. That is NOT the spiritual way. A definite need for a change in attitude.

When you come from a place of love, you will not drain your energy, but renew it.
