Given To

Share it Please
Given To, by Ruth Bebermeyer
I never feel more given to
than when you take from me
–when you understand the joy I feel
giving to you.
And you know my giving isn’t done
to put you in my debt,
but because I want to live the loveI feel for you.
To receive with grace
may be the greatest giving.
There’s no way I can separate
the two.
When you give to me,
I give you my receiving.
When you take from me, I feel sogiven to.

-Song “Given To” (1978)
by Ruth Bebermeyer
from the album, Given To

Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
