      Hmm.... i gave my $$ to the person behind the counter in Metro/ Taka/ Toysrus/ OG/ Robinson etc in exchange for something called 'toys' which in turn i pass to my boys and they instantly smile/ kiss/ hug/ laugh/ jump for joy.... which in turn made me feel VERY HAPPY!


      So, technically quite an 'accurate article'?! 😉

        The Bible says: "It is more blessed to give than to receive". Sorry that I’m preaching but it’s true. You feel good when you give cos you know that you are blessing someone in some way and knowing that you have the ability and capability somehow puts you on a pedestal. You feel that you are not in need and in a way you are also thankful for what you have cos you are better off than the one who are receiving. It’s when you have plenty that you are able to give and it gives you a sense of security about your own situation.
