Transforming a gift into something extraordinary for others is an act of loving oneness.
I knew that the second box of Saffron given to me would remain unused so I asked a friend if she could use it. She was overjoyed to receive it. The next weekend she posted on Facebook that she had used the spice to make a chicken dish that she served to 100 people at a soup kitchen.
Instead of keeping the gift for the enjoyment of her immediate circle she chose to use it all in an offering for the hungry.
When I asked her what prompted this she said, “I wanted to use this exotic expensive spice to create a beautiful meal. I didn’t want to hold on to it like a personal treasure. The best part was seeing how much the meal was enjoyed.” Then she giggled with delight!
A simple act – a gift shared in the creation of an extraordinary meal – was with joy from those not expecting such a feast. What gift of yours will be transformed into something unexpected and extraordinary?
Call-to-Action:
Be mindful of the many gifts you have
Be present to unexpected opportunities to do something extraordinary
Notice how your act of transforming a gift into something for others affirms our oneness.
