Don't Just Receive, Learn To Give Back Blog #134 January 20, 2022 Hello, my dear friends! How are you all doing today? I hope you are all doing good. "*You know what Les, being a single mom is not easy. Many times I have been stressed thinking about where I can get money to provide for my children. Even if I am living with my brother this time, it feels like we are just a ghost in their house. They don't care about us."* "*Many times I cried at night and there comes a time that I wanted to end my life because I can't take this anymore. I am too tired physically and mentally but I fight that feeling because I am thinking about my children. What will happen to them if I leave them? "* *"You know when my husband was still alive, we don't experience this kind of hardships that we been through as of the moment. We don't experience being criticized by my family because he's a hardworking man but sadly he was taken from us."* *"When he was still working, he helped my family when they have nothing but look what happened to us now. They are just happy when we can give to them but now that we are in need, seems they don't care about us."* *"Despite being treated that way, I am thankful to Allah that I have friends who understand my situation. Whenever they have ways to help me, they don't hesitate. See, even if they aren't my family or relatives, they cared about us. Sometimes, they will let me sell their goods and they will just give me commissions after."* *"Sometimes when they receive free goods from others, they never forget about me. Even if it's nighttime already they will call me to inform me about it so in the morning I can get it in their house."* **These are just a few of the things that a friend shared last year. It pains me while listening to her problems. I know what it feels like to be in that situation but at that moment I can't help her financially.** Then this morning, she knocked at our door when I was about to eat. At first, I just ignored it because I was really hungry and I haven't taken my coffee yet but the knock is so persistent that I just gave up even if I didn't have a spoon of food taken to my mouth. I didn't take a sip of my coffee too because I hurriedly went to the door and see who was it. When I opened it, it was the same friend who I talked to last year. Earlier I see how her eyes are swollen because she cried so hard because of the news she heard. They are told to leave the house as soon as possible because the new owner of the house will transfer already and they should start packing their belongings early in the morning. As far as she knows that it is his brother's house but without her knowledge, his brother had sold it to someone else a long time ago. Now she became problematic because she don't know where to live and she doesn't have enough money too. While his brother isn't stressed about where to live because they can just rent anytime. His brother has a daughter who works in an office that pays a higher salary. Then I asked her if his brother would help them too but she said they were told to just go to their relatives in the far town. Hearing her answer, I was silent for a minute and think why his brother was like that. I know that he doesn't care that much for his sister but at the moment she needed his help the most. I think it's payback time. Before they received help from their sister, now it's their time to help. I came up with the title "****Don't Just Receive, Learn to Give Back****" because we need to realize that life is about "give and take". We can't just receive and receive because the time will come that those who help or give us will be in need to. And when that time comes let's learn to give back. Same as here in this community where we are given free money, we should also learn to give back to the community by supporting others. Don't just take it all in our pockets, let's learn to share with others. I think a single cent can't hurt our wallets right? If you asked, what's the benefit do we receive from sharing? By giving or sharing to others, you will receive more. Do you know that by that single cent that you shared with others, you make a big impact on them? That single cent will inspire someone who is struggling to be noticed. That single cent made someone smile. That single cent will make someone inspired to work better because someone appreciates her/his work. "****Don't Just Receive, Learn to Give Back"**** is a daily reminder to us all that we should also learn to give back whether in our personal life or in here.

You are too correct my dear. It's not hard thing but you know some people just looks and wants to bigger their own wallet. Otherwise if everyone had the same heart it would be great help for almost everyone. Thanks for sharing an article about that amazing topic. And in real life it makes a lot of peace in heart by giving something than recieving.
*Yes it gives a good feeling when we are able to share with others than receive. Thanks for sharing your feedback about my article my friend. I appreciate it*
You are always welcome my lovely friend. You have really did a great write.
*Thanks for that wonderful words from you my friend*
It's true sis, give and take . It's really felt good if we inspire others, even in just a little amount. But we really can't force people to do that, we really can't expect them to give back. Let's just understand them and respect their perspective. Anyway sometimes even our own families can turn their own back to us. We also can't rely on them.
*True sis, sometimes families can turn their back on us when we need them and that's the sad truth*
I am very sorry for your friend, she is in a very bad situation, I hope God helps her. Unfortunately, in some families you can't even expect your loved ones, there are sisters or brothers, who are just waiting for you, and when it's your turn, they forget everything. As you said, it's good that everyone learns, as much as they receive, they have to pay.
*I hope so too that God will help her and strengthen her heart, my friend...Yes, it happens nowadays and I witnessed some who experienced it. After the help they receive, they would just ignore their siblings when those need help from them*
But we just accept everyone. There should be rules of give and take. For me it's inspire dear. But not everyone has the same mentality dear.
*That's true mate, everyone has a different mind about it*
Nowadays people are selfish they think about their benefits first it and after that they think about other even your own blood relationship leaves you if you are in problem specially in money problem
*Yeah, that happened nowadays that when it's about money, they would just turn around and don't offer any help at all. In my case, I am happy that despite not being born with abundance, my siblings are there to rescue each other, and I'm thankful to God for it*
Give and take is one of my principles in life. I mean that we should not always take for granted this life because sometimes we need to give also to others.
*Exactly, we also need to give back to others coz that's what life is. Life is give and take.*
Nicey !!! Truly those who help you today might be in need of your help one day but most people are so selfish that they end up disappointing them!! Very few people have this understanding.
*Yes and that's the sad truth. People who have been helped before tend to forget all the good things that they receive and when the time comes that those who helped them is in need, they would just turn their back*
The more you give, the more you get. That's true.
*Indeed, when we learn to give, God bless us more*
Awts, that's sad. I'm also a single mom. I wonder if my brothers would also treat me like that, when the time comes that I have nothing left to give them. I hope not. 🥺
*Let's pray na hindi maging ganun ang treatment nila sa iyo balang araw.*
Tama jud na mars give and take man jud dapat dili healthy if puro ra take and take.
*Lage mars, ingon Ana jud dapat, give and take pero Kana na principle kay Dili applicable sa uban kay gusto lang nila take and take, hays.*
Dili nako mars maong kung muhatag dili nalang kud maghunahuna nga balusan hahaha
*Mas maayo na Mars para iwas disappointment*
the universe loves a cheerful giver. When you give, you are showing how grateful you are for what you have received.
*That's true, sharing is one way of showing how grateful we are for the blessings we receive*
This is so sad, I pray that your friend will be fine and God will elevate her above her brother and other family members, she deserves better.
*Yes, it's really saddening. I hope God will help her in these trying times of her life.*
I pray so too
A timely reminder most specially in this trying time. Thanks for reminding us sis:)
*You're welcome sis. Good evening!*
Tama ka diyan sis! Learned to give pag may time no wag lagi tanggap ng tanggap kasi nahihiya ang grasya hehehe. Mgtagalog sa ta ron😅. Kawawa nmn kaibigan mo diyan di mn lang naawa kapatid nya. Kapamilya pa mn din tpos sya lng pala aapi sa sariling kapatid. Ang saklap sis!
*Kaya nga sis, give and take dapat...Lage sis oi, luoy baya jud kaayo, Kana bitaw nag storyahanay mi, nag iiyak pud Tawn siya, hay ka wala naman lamang jud ayo sa Iya igsuon. Dapat it's payback time na kasi kailangan siya ng kapatid niya ngayon...Hala naunsa gud ni ako gisulat, na Tagalog ug bisaya na man lagi ni, hahaha*
Hahah cge na lng ui mgbisaya na lng ta. Nya asa nmn sila Ron? As in in the spot dayun nangbakwit? Pila kbuok anak nya sis? Labad kaayu utok ato ba kung unsaon nya na ron.
*Labad jud to sis, Perti hubaga sa mata Tawn kay sa pag iyak niya. 7 Iya anak tanan, 3 sa elementary ug 4 sa high school..Wala ko kabalo kung nadayon ug bakwit sis, pero basin nadayon kay ingon to sya nga Iya papuntahon Iya anak diri pero wala man*
Hala kadghn ba diay sis ui. Unsaon mna pgtabang twn. Mkahilak mn sd ta mghuna huna sa Ila kahemtang no. Ka way puangod sd sa egsoon ky pasagdan lng nya bsta sya maluwas lang no.
*Mao Lage sis oi, Makahinumdom ko sa una niyang giingon last year nga bisan man pareho sila ug house, wala jud daw paki Iya igsuon, sariling kayod lang jud siya Tawn* *sis, naa'y bag Ong prompt kay blackdoll Apil na pud ta*
Kulbaa sis no mkadare jud sya sa iya egsoon ana. Lupig pa mn ang laing tao kung mkatrato nya. Ohh wa pko kita ka blockdoll. Cge try nato apil hahaha.
*Naa jud mga ingon Ana na tawo sis, bahalag magkina unsa ila igsuon walay pake...swerte ta kay Atong mga igsuon kabalo ng muhuna-huna na'to...Lagi save by the prompt na pud ta ani sis, haha*
Correct jud dae kay dili jud tanan panahon nga anaa ta ,so sa panahon nga ikaw maoy abunda og grasya dapat dili ta kalimot sa pag hatag sa nagkinahanglan kay dili nato matag an ang panahon kay sa pag ka ingon pa ang kinabuhi sa tawo sama rag ligid nga nag tuyok.
*Tinuod jud dae, ang paghatag na'to sa uban isa na sya sa pagpakita nga mapasalamaton ta sa Atong mga nadawat.*
Your friend is suffering so hard ,I hope she can conquer against all he problems. Sharing is caring, we should help each other. Her brother did the wrong thing by selling the house without her knowledge.
*Yeah she really is and I hope God will help her in this trying times. He's really wrong, even if he didn't care much about his sister, he should tell his sister about it so that his sister would know too so when time comes that the new owner will take over, they are prepared about it already*
Tama,maliit o malaki basta bukal sa puso malaking impact sa tao
*Tama sis, malaking bagay na yan para sa iba*
I loved your post today. That's a good analogy you made. Here we must support each other but we must do our part and do a good job.
*Yes, right ma'am. We should support one another but we should also tried our best to do a better job so the support will not go to waste*
Yes, that's what I said, honey.
Totoo yan sis, kailangan hindi lang tayo tanggap ng tanggap bagkus matuto tayong magnigay.😉😊
*Tama sis kasi hindi naman lahat ng panahon na yung mga taong nagbigay ay May ibigay palagi, kaya matuto tayong magbigay din.* *Hello sis, gising ka din pala?*
