Each awakening moment of our lives offers us two main choices.
A choice on how to treat and relate to others and a choice on how to treat ourselves.
Think about it for a moment and you will realise that everything we do is centred on these two main player’s; ourselves and others.
I’ve found that a bid to make a positive impact on other people’s lives never leaves the giver empty handed. In caring for others, we inadvertently care for ourselves.
The rewards are life changing and sometimes beyond your expectations.
May the lamp that you carry not only cast light on your path. Let its flickers offer some brightness to those you encounter on your way.
Shalom!
Jacqueline

May the lamp that you carry not only cast light on your path. Let its flickers offer some brightness to those you encounter on your way.

Very thought-provoking. I can’t help but wonder, how it actually feels dipping fingers in the palm oil…

Thank you Anna. Palm oil is reddish/orange in colour, a bit thicker in feel than other vegetable oils and due to it’s colour, it leaves stains but can be washed off.
