Tell Me If It's Chilly Outside

Giving. I mentioned in my original Lent post what I am giving up and taking up. One of the things that I’ve planned to take up is giving. I’ve been having problems with this one. All I’ve been wanting to do is post that I’ve been able to give and in the meantime I have been the one receiving more than usual. It really is rather unusual.
 
This all makes me want to give just that much more. Today I got a chance to start. As soon as it was over all I could think of was posting everything that had happened. Right about there is when I saw what this whole thing could become. From now on I am choosing to omit all of my so called “giving”. If for no other reason than to save myself from doing it for the wrong reason.
 
As much as my giving started today, there is a long way for me to go. I did better than usual but fell short of what I truly could’ve done. My giving was still wrapped in selfish desires.
