To Give and Serve

“The service we render to others
is really the rent we pay for
our room on this earth.
It is obvious that man is
himself a traveler; that the
purpose of this world is not
‘to have and to hold’
but ‘to give and serve.’
There can be no other meaning.”
.
~ Wilfred Grenfell

.
To have and to hold does not mean that there will be
a Brinks truck following the hearse as it takes
you to your grave.
To have and to hold means that you will love
and cherish the heart of your soul mate for as
long as you both shall live.
To love is to share, give and serve.
Kindness is to give and serve.
Kindness is the beginning of a life filled with love.
