Movie Tickets

A man received two free movie tickets as gratuity for his volunteer service to an organization. He rarely watched movies and had no need for the tickets. One day, during lunch, he gave the tickets to a friend. The man and his friend were both happy over this small blessing. His friend had little need to be polite and try to turn down the gift, because the movie ticket never belonged to the giver in the first place. Let's give and receive everything in this life as though they never belonged to us in the first place. Then we can give and receive with joy.

Steven, Carolyn (Dad's writer's group) gave him two tickets to Kenny G. Dad in turn gave them to Irena and I so that we could enjoy the show on her visit here to Phoenix which was a very big deal to her and me too. When I made a hat for Stacy (Dad"s writer's group)it pleased her and me. It is a pleasure to give and receive, a blessing from God.
