The Giving Me

I noticed something different in me these days. I'm seeing myself now less of a kuripot and more of a giver.

I now give tips whenever I get excellent service. I remember the last time I had my hair cut, I gave a tip to the barber not because I got peer pressured by the other clients in that shop but because I liked his service. And then earlier, I bought the doughnuts that my brother tagged me on Facebook. I thought he would like it.

I'm starting to see how the Lord slowly changed me. Before, I always refuse to give tips and even buy pasalubong all because they're  not in my budget. I was struggling with my finances back then so I had to make sure that I'm spending every single centavo on my bills and other obligations.

Now, I think I have some extra money that I can now freely share with the people I valued so much.

Lord,

Thank You for showering me with so many blessings that I can now share it with my loved ones. I'm very much grateful for making me realize how blessed I am.

Thank You, Lord, for guiding me to this path. I never thought I'd be a giver after going through financial struggles in 2016.

Help me, Lord, to be more giving as I experience the fullness of Your love and care. And, enlighten me whenever I'm starting to become the person I used to be.

Amen.
