People don’t care

how much you know…

They want to know

how much you care!

Care is shown by sacrifice of time,

of help, of selflessness, of love.

It means giving a part of your life

to someone else!

~~~

Do not rob another person

of the joy of giving,

by not accepting.

When you gracefully acknowledge

and accept the offered gift,

you, also, are giving.

(Richard Halloran, A Light Through the Cracks pp. 69, 85)
