You all be wandering the kind of topic I used😁 well I know the actual sentence but I think this one is very undastanding. I know the sentence is "ask and it shall be giving unto you" I changed it to "give and it shall be giving unto you" because of the experiences I go through in life.

I have come to notice that givers never lack, they live large and they keep giving. I lived with my uncle when I was much younger. and I saw and learned what good comes out from giving. when I say giving I mean to give free will not grudgingly. to give with all your heart and also forget about receiving a favor from the person you helped.

just give and keep giving. this my uncle I made mention of earlier is a die hard giver. he will give with a smiling face even if it's the last kobo he had he wouldn't mind giving it out and put smiles on others, he kept in this act and he became used to giving, he will always sit me down and advise me of giving and I also noticed that the more he kept giving the more he received and they is no day we go hungry because of no food to eat. he will give out his last money while they is no good but somehow we too won't starve.

growing up to be the young man I am today I tried to emulate him and I start giving. I received a call some months ago from a family member asking me to borrow him one thousand naira he want to use to pay transport back home from work, and checking I discovered that was the last money I had in my account at that time I didn't even give a second thought I send the money to him and the next day I received an alert of one thousand five hundred naira I called and asked why he sent the money and why he sent more than what I have him, he told me he didn't make any transfer to me.

you might think am just cooking this up, but this is exactly what happened to me. after I experienced this It even made me give more and I have not for one day regret giving.

now here this, last week I went to my hometown for the burial of that my uncle's wife. after 25years I moved out of his house seeing him again was really good I feel happy. he later gave us a break down of how things went during the burial. he said he didn't put in his own money into the burial that everything was done by friends and well wishers, he said they gave him monetery gift back to back that he used to carter for all the entertainment and what ever needed money.

and the occasion was a huge success. with no doubt all the money where giving to him by people he touched through giving years ago. so what am saying in essence is for you and me to cultivate the habit of giving, it might not just be money. it can be your time your love your affection even your clothes shoes and the likes. just give till you have nothing to give again.😁
