to receive

Friends took us out to lunch today, but didn't come right out and say they'd be paying for us. We have a lot in common, but financial status isn't one of them. It's such a humbling thing to be taken care of... And I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing, but I feel very much able to be given to, to receive with thankfulness and genuine gratitude, vs. able to give. We just have never seemed in the position to be able to give with the abandon we would LOVE. So if to receive is something that blesses the willing eager giver, then I'm your man! And I don't believe I'm a leech lying in wait for the next vulnerable... I just think I have this particular lesson down.
