‘Giving is the master key to success, in all applications of life’  

Bryant McGill

Being grateful AND giving, especially this time of year, is the perfect combination for a life full of happiness and success. People often wonder why some people get ahead in life and succeed in everything, while others wonder why they fall short and struggle. 

It is a key factor for success, but interestingly, it is not what most people think. Thanks And Giving ! What a Perfect Combination Although there are many components to a life of success and prosperity, what many people have in common is the art of true giving and gratitude.I love Thanksgiving. 

Family gatherings, traditions and the cool breeze of autumn after a long hot summer. This is accompanied by a reflection of the meaning behind it; giving thanks But what does thanks mean?

What does a grateful heart look like?

Honestly, there are so many good things about Thanks And Giving in Scripture that we would need a 90-part series to even scratch the surface. Instead, I would like to share just one thing that God has recently revealed: thanksgiving and giving together.

I know what you’re thinking – gratitude and giving obviously go together. But wait, do we believe it? Is it visible in our lives? Are we grateful or are we numb to it? When we look for the word “thank” in the scriptures, we find that it is often preceded by the word “give. “Giving thanks allows our heart, perspective and attitude to change.So not only gratitude is important; power is in giving. 

Acknowledgment Our gratitude

Is awakened when we do something about it. Gratitude alone is not enough. Giving thanks allows our heart, perspective and attitude to change. In practice, this means removing it. Let it begin in our hearts, yes, but let it not be short. Express it. Write it down. Say it out loud, or better yet, share it. Try it today. If you find your thoughts drifting toward the negative, turn the train around by finding something to thank God for and expressing it out loud to Him and to someone around you.

‘At the end it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about who you have lifted up, who you have made better.  It’s all about what you give back.”   Denzel Washington

Only God knows where these words will find you today. Maybe you are waiting and longing for a new move from God. Believe him. Say thanks to Him for His timing, His arrangement, and the story He is composing for you. I express gratitude toward Him for all He has done and all He has arranged. Thanks And Giving!

Researchers have found that people who are true “givers” who have volunteered their time, donated money, or even simply shared a kind comment or gesture with someone in need, reported higher self-esteem and lower stress and are less prone to depression. But does “giving” make you happier? Yes, definitely yes. 

When the covid pandemic started years ago, our company decided to do a fundraising campaign to thank the nurses in Ontario hospitals. Thanks And Giving! What a Perfect Combination Hundreds of dollars worth of free products were given out to thank the staff for their unparalleled service. 

Based on the reviews they received, they appreciated our generosity, which made us very happy!When you add value to another person’s life, it actually elevates your own life to new heights. Thanks And Giving! What a Perfect Combination Later, the goods you offer will return tenfold with abundance, better health and happiness. 

How many times have you waited patiently at a Tim Hortons (Canadian coffee franchise) drive-thru and some sweet soul in front of you buys you a coffee?! Smiling from ear to ear, you think: wow!, this is unusual behavior! Lol This is so unusual because very few people do it! These mindful, smart people “show preemptive kindness.” This delightful thoughtful gesture can and starts a chain response of significant liberality to others with demonstrated positive far reaching influences.

I am sure that when you look back on your life, you will remember the great deeds that you have contributed or received as a donor. In my life, I distinctly remember several thoughtful people who showed me unprecedented acts of kindness that went beyond ordinary generosity. In the same way as other who have encountered such generosity, you will always remember these individuals since they had such a major effect on your life.

Even more important is the gesture of giving, the memory of the kindness experienced will be fondly remembered for a lifetime. Thanks And Giving! What a Perfect Combination One particularly recent death is Bob Proctor. Many know him as a famous international icon in the field of personal development, a milestone in human resources. 

I had the great honor and privilege of working with him over 3 decades ago and was amazed by his inspiring, undeniably positive attitude, his strength of character and his blessed, giving nature. In addition to his powerful personality and excellent, unparalleled mind, Bob Proctor was a true “giver” in every sense of the word.
