"I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Acts 20:35
I like the idea here, which Paul reminds the people of, that giving is better than recieving. This might go against our experience sometimes, but the overall rule still applies. Even when people aren't necessarily appreciative of what we do, giving is still the way to be. Christ kept giving when he was unappreciated, and his gift of resurrection is to all people, regardless of whether we thank him or not.
That said though, let's be thankful, for the chance to live again and also for the opportunity that he gave us to repent and change and return to live with him. Today, let's give as he did, not expecting anything in return, and show our love to all people, making the world better because we were in it, as Christ did.
