A Thought for Today-230:

The great secret is that happiness is not to be found in getting but in giving. It is not what you do for yourself that will give you the greatest happiness, but, rather what you do for others. You can prove this to yourself by noticing that warm glow which comes when you do a kindly act. That is why the Great Thinker, Jesus, who talked much about these things, said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." - Excerpt from Dr.Norman Vincent Peale's "The New Art of Living"
