Quotes for Christmas
Kahlil GibranT on "Giving."
You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you
may need them tomorrow?
And tomorrow, what shall tomorrow bring to the overprudent dog burying
bones in the trackless sand as he follows the pilgrims to the holy city?
And what is fear of need but need itself?
Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, thirst that is
unquenchable?
There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they
give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts
unwholesome.
And there are those who have little and give it all.
These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer
is never empty.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.
And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they
seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;
They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into
space.
Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their
eyes He smiles upon the earth.
It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through
understanding;
And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy
greater than giving
And is there aught you would withhold?
All you have shall some day be given;
Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your
inheritors'.
You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving."
The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights is worthy of
all else from you.
And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill
his cup from your little stream.
And what desert greater shall there be than that which lies in the
courage and the confidence, nay the charity, of receiving?
And who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride,
that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed?
See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of
giving.
For in truth it is life that gives unto life - while you, who deem
yourself a giver, are but a witness.
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of
gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives.
Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings;
For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has
the free-hearted earth for mother, and God for father
Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving
heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the
baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because
it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of
love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand
years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas
heart.
