The givers

For those in your life that have shown love by giving. Giving of their time and service, that is their love. They show interest. They want to see all you have to offer. They encourage and display a genuine desire to see you be your best. They want to listen. They want to hear from you. They care. Simple tasks and small favors they find joy in doing.

As an Empath, this tends to happen when I am tired and completely drained. I tend to feel the slight pang of failure since I am usually the giver. I end up feeling spent and negative thoughts creep in, “you should do more, you can do more…”, and suddenly the givers show up. They let you sit. They let you collect your thoughts. They let you breath a little. Those are the true gems in life. The ones that you know their story is deep and you embrace that little glimpse of heartache. You can see how they give more because that’s their best days. They give unconditionally and they relish in it. They wear their sorrow at times, but they smile and love despite the sadness.

Thank the givers. Embrace their selflessness.

I thank my God for every remembrance of you.
