The other day my son forgot about his homework. I instructed him to call his friend for assistance . I dialed the number and handed the phone to him. Despite being talkative he struggles with serious conversations, especially when asking questions.
He started talking to his friend and asked the homework related question. I told him that he was not asking the question appropriately and it wouldn’t make sense to his friend. He still couldn’t ask the question aptly to get the required answer. Subsequently, I had intervene and speak to his friend myself to get the required answer.
After the incident, I shared my concerns about my son’s communication hesitation with my brother. To my surprise, my brother reminded me of a similar incident when I had helped him talk to a friend. He said to me, “Do you remember I once called my friend for certain help and I had difficulty talking to him. Then you took the phone from me and got the problem solved.”
Despite his detailed recall I couldn’t bring traces of any such occurrence to the surface of my mind.
It was not the first time he reminisced about the moments I supported him. He often shares various instances of my assistance though I struggle to recall those specific memories.
Interestingly, I remember several instances when he extended his help. I can confidently say that there hasn’t been a single instance when I sought his help and he declined.
My brother is not the only one who recalls about the memory of assistance. At times, my friends also recall the memories which I barely remember. Nevertheless, I remember several instances when their helped saved my day.
Realizing the simplicity of giving I have realized that the most meaningful contributions often transcend the material abundance. In this realm of giving the giver may easily forget, for the act doesn’t demand much from them. However, the receiver remembers, as the significance and value it holds for them make it a memorable and worthwhile experience. Sharing words of encouragement, engaging in a brief yet genuine conversation, and offering assistance in daily tasks can create ripples of positivity.
Building on this realization I have also gained insight into the importance of intention and underlying emotions in giving. I categorize giving into two broad groups: One driven by sincerity and love; the other stemming from obligation with a sense of sacrifice.
Occasionally, don’t we find ourselves enclosed in situations where giving feels obligatory? In such instances, we give not out of genuine willingness but due to a perceived force. This type of giving lingers in our hearts as a regret. Conversely, giving done with love radiates positivity. It is this second type of giving that is forgotten by the giver.
So far as the question posed by @dreemsteem in the recent contest post is concerned, I am unable to specifically answer what I give this week to my teem or others. However, it is certain that whatever I offered was driven by love. There was hardly any material object but some small gestures like a listening ear, a genuine conversation and the words of encouragement. In return, the same has come back to me.
As I pen down these reflections, I am reminded that in the symphony of life, it is the subtle notes of kindness and support that compose the most harmonious melodies. As we navigate the nuanced dance of giving, let’s aspire to infuse every act with the sincerity of love, for it is the type of giving that echoes in the hearts of both the giver and the receiver.
This post is my participation for Dreemport’s contest
Helping people gets fun and forgettable by those who render it because it makes them feel happy and fulfilled. There are so many times when it gets hard to communicate what's on our minds to others and having someone help out is just the best at those times.
I do know how much of a good listener you are and I'm happy you know I wasn't exaggerating seeing that even your brother has agreed to it and many others as well
The way you love is one thing I also admire so much about you, I love how you interact with people so genuinely and I appreciate you for that 🤗.
I am so humbled by you kind and loving words, Hope.
You are a gem, sweetie

However, the receiver remembers, as the significance and value it holds for them make it a memorable and worthwhile experienceThis line is so correct, sometimes the little things we do can mean a lot to those we render it to the extent they even feel indebted to us.
Perhaps that's the reason the scriptures tell us that no deed is small.

There are two things I see here: you're great with communicating effectively, and you are just a cheerful lover/giver. I think that's beautful. It makes you a more heartwarming person to have as a friend. Why wouldn't people go out of their way to help you, when you'd do the same for them? You have a large heart, amber. I found this gem on Dreemport.
I am humbled by your words, Joe. You made me blush. 😊.
There is one thing that I have understood. The genuineness and sincerity is not only a blessing at the recieving end but a source of true happiness at the giving end.
Thanks for your !LUV and support

You have built a strong relationship with people and you are not aware, that helping people without looking back or expecting anything in return is the best, your brother still remembers the day you helped him despite how many years interval, helping people is the best. #dreemerforlife
Certainly, helping people is the best.
I heard my father saying that he never gives with an intention to take back.
After many years I am able to understand the wisdom behind his words. Now I have gained the insight why he remained so calm and satisfied despite being ditched by the people whom he gave.

You may not have felt that you did a lot but I'm sure that the members on your team really felt your impact and I'm sure they appreciate your efforts.
#dreemerforlife
Yeah, I didn’t feel that the things I did were a lot as they didn't cost me much.

It is true the giver might sometimes forget but the receiver never forgets.
There are days when simple gestures from one person to another does wonders and changes a lot of things. Your loved ones are so lucky to have you.
Thank you for sharing. #dreemerforlife
I feel myself blessed to have them in my life.

People who remember our good deeds also have a good heart, don't they?
There are certain people who never remember any favors but are always complaining, aren't there?

You are good at communicating and you really can't keep it to yourself but help others when they find it difficult. And again you don't help and keep it in mind because you are doing it from a genuine heart. So it is possible for you the giver and not remember that you actually did something of that sort to someone but the receiver might remember it because he cherished and appreciate that you once gave him help.
Truth be told, giving with a genuine heart is not always the case. Sometimes, I feel compelled to give. Nevertheless, whenever, it is with a genuine heart it is more satisfying and also easily forgotten.
Another thing is that often times what we give is of not much value to us so we forget but the worth it keeps to the reciever is much higher so he remembers.
