Give a little, get a lot.

This week I learned a lot about the importance of giving and trusting. When we trust others, they trust us. When we give to people, eventually that giving comes back to us. This is actually a principle I’ve been thinking a lot about lately so it was interesting that in our readings we learned more about that. I loved when he talked about how we are all either bakers or eaters and how the world needs more bakers. I’ve noticed, and I’m not perfect at it but I’m trying, that as I strive to be a baker, someone who looks at the world with the perspective of “what can I give?”, I’m happier. I am genuinely happy when I am trying to see how I can bless the lives of others. And what I’ve noticed as well, is that when I look at the world that way, suddenly everyone in my life in turn, becomes a blessing to me, becomes a gift. It’s an amazing thing to see the world as a place where we can give as much as we can, a place to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. As I have strived to serve others, I have never not had enough to eat or lacked clothes to wear. I’ve always had a rough over my head. But most of all, I’ve never lacked the love that I need to feel like life is meaningful and worthwhile. What goes around really does come around.
