"What goes around comes around. Keep your circle positive. Say good words, think good thoughts, do good deeds.” – Author Unknown
Reflection:
I’m a firm believer in the old sayings, “You reap what you sow”, and “what you give comes back to you.” This reminds me of the boomerang story told by Virginia Berg.
When I was a little girl, I went to my first circus. There, before my awestruck eyes, were three rings in full action—performing animals in one, and acrobats leaping and flying through the air in another. What interested me most, though, was taking place in the third ring. A girl and a boy were flinging brightly colored missiles, which, after they had crossed the ring, turned and returned to the very hands that had flung them. No matter which direction they were thrown, the things curved and swiftly came back to the young performers, who would catch and fling them again. I watched in amazement. “They are boomerangs,” someone beside me said. It was the first time I had heard that word. Since then I have heard that word often. I’ve also seen the principle behind it play out in life. In fact, life itself is a boomerang.
You either “fling” good or evil. Either way whatever you “throw out” will come back to you. Every word or action we fling out comes back to us in some way. Whether good or bad, it will return to us, and it often gains momentum along the way. When you give to others, you receive in return and surprisingly, many times over! You never lose by giving. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated. Anyone who lives unselfishly, caring for and lifting the burdens of others, easing their pain, and helping to supply their needs, will see that boomerang come back in the form of blessings some day!
What sort of boomerang are you throwing out?
