The Joy

Somehow, not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing
Returns to make you glad.
--John Greenleaf Whittier

I wish you a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year. As you say, you get back what you put forth. Your blog is a wealth of giving and that being said, Bless you and your family. I look forward to a new year full of friends and many blessings and I wish for you the same.
