It would not be wrong to say that each one of us has been blessed immeasurably by our Creator. These blessings may not be identical, not even besimilar but in our separate rights we all have received them. If someday we sit down to list the blessings that we have been bestowed with, it would take us an immense amount of time to mention each and every tiny blessing that, times too often, we donot even realise or just discard with ingratitude. 

What are blessings from the Almighty? Blessings come in all forms, all colours and all shapes; we just need an inner eye to recognise them! Life is a blessing in itself; the health that we have, the wealth that we earn and spend, our family, our friends, each day that we live again, the sense of sight, the hearing, the touch, the taste and the smell are a tiny fraction of the blessings that we seldom realise and most often are not grateful for. 

Then there are those among us who are less blessed. Some are homeless, some orphans, some have less resources and several mouths to feed. They cannot access the necessities of life such as food, medication and education let alone the luxuries that we easily and repeatedly enjoy! 

How often do we stop and think of them? Think of how to reach out and make a difference by sharing the abundance of blessings that we have? Sharing, my friends, is not only in cash or kind but also through the many talents that we have either been born with or have been fortunate enough to acquire during our lives. We can share our time, talent and treasure with those who have not been born as lucky as some of us.

Live for others so that you may live to the fullest!Let us pledge to regularly plant deeds of kindness so that on the day when we meet the Creator of this universe we may stand confident in believing that the seeds of time, talent and treasurethat we sowed during our life on earth have matured into full grown, shady trees in heaven, for which we can be proud!

They say that you cannot pour happiness on others without getting a drop on your-self! So come on and share your time, talent and treasurewith others so that you may receive more blessings in return:
