As we approach the season of giving, I wanted to share this message from my own guides about value. With the best of intentions and much love in their heart, people often spend more than they can comfortably afford at this time of year and spend the rest of the year catching up, only to start again for the next Christmas. In the past when working in the corporate world, I have been fortunate enough to be able to donate on a regular basis to various charities that I wanted to support. I had the money but I didn’t have the time. Circumstances have changed and now I can’t comfortably donate in the way I did before and I now give my time freely to a number of charities and am receiving so much fulfilment from it, more than that, joy.
However I still feel the need to donate from time to time. This is what I was told.
“Money is energy which is currency, time given freely is currency. It all has the same effect and the same value. It is how you feel about it that matters. When given freely from the heart with love, when received graciously with gratitude, it is valuable beyond measure and circulates in the stratosphere generating more of the same. Do not give if you cannot comfortably and graciously give – it is worthless – and if you cannot receive openly, graciously with gratitude in your heart you are denying yourself and the giver the gift of positive benefits.
Everything, everything, without exception has energy, every thought word and deed has energy. It is very important now to make sure you use that energy wisely, thoughfully and graciously. It is time you understood that as truth.”
Perhaps you can find a balance this year between giving financially and giving your time, and I hope it brings you much joy. Wishing you peace, joy and harmony throughout this Christmas season.
