…Deben recordar las palabras del Señor Jesús: “Hay más bendición en dar que en recibir” Hechos 20:35 NTV
Este es uno de los versículos de la Biblia que ronda mi mente a menudo, pues siento que he recibido mas generosidad de la que he podido dar, o esa es mi percepción, pero también recuerdo que no permitir que alguien sea generoso conmigo es algo egoísta y hasta orgulloso.
...You must remember the words of the Lord Jesus: "There is more blessing in giving than in receiving" Acts 20:35 NTV
This is one of the Bible verses that haunts my mind often, because I feel that I have received more generosity than I have been able to give, or that is my perception, but I also remember that not allowing someone to be generous with me is something selfish and even proud.
La generosidad ha estado y esta presente en mi vida desde que tengo memoria, aproximadamente a los 8 años comencé a acompañar a mi abuela a la iglesia, muchos de mis vecinos actuales son miembros de esa iglesia y notaron que en momentos de nuestra vida, no teníamos la suficiente liquidez para cubrir las necesidades del hogar, en esos momentos las que proveían eran mi abuela, quien ya estaba jubilada y pensionada y mi madre que en un momento quedo desempleada, así que podrán imaginarse.
Generosity has been and is present in my life since I can remember, approximately when I was 8 years old I began to accompany my grandmother to church, many of my current neighbors are members of that church and noticed that at times in our lives, we did not have enough money to cover the needs of the household, at that time the ones who provided were my grandmother, who was already retired and pensioned and my mother who at one point became unemployed, so you can imagine.

Así estos vecinos fueron exageradamente generosos y amorosos, pues en varias oportunidades nos traían alimento y no hablo de traer un par de arepas para cada una, era un mercado para quince días para dos mujeres y un par de niñas, además de estos grandes gestos que manifestaron en varias oportunidades, también nos colaboraban para la compra de uniformes y útiles escolares. De este modo crecí rodeada de gente genuinamente generosa, que no hizo nunca nada por interés o esperando agradecimiento, esto me inspiro y me hizo desear ser también una mujer generosa, amable, desinteresada, alguien que apoyara a quienes lo necesitaran en algún momento.
So these neighbors were exaggeratedly generous and loving, because on several occasions they brought us food and I am not talking about bringing a couple of arepas for each one, it was a market for fifteen days for two women and a couple of girls, in addition to these great gestures that manifested on several occasions, they also collaborated with us for the purchase of uniforms and school supplies. In this way I grew up surrounded by genuinely generous people, who never did anything out of interest or expecting thanks, this inspired me and made me want to also be a generous, kind, selfless woman, someone who would support those who needed it at some point.
As if this were not enough when my son Cristian Josué was born, I was unemployed, the first months it was not noticed, because he was born in December the time when we usually have extra money in our hands and my grandmother supported me a lot, but when January arrived and the following months things were stronger, although I started selling clothes and products through catalogs the barely enough for what was needed, so one of those neighbors appeared a few months later with a supply of red Huggies diapers which was one of the few brands that did not give my son diaper rash.

So these acts of generosity have not stopped throughout my life, because years ago when I rescued a cat that suffered for years at the hands of those who in theory should love him, I began to receive many donations to cancel the veterinary medical expenses generated by this rescue and its feeding, so not only this kitten was benefited from these acts, my cats and other subsequent rescues I made, too, since people seeing my work, through social networks, contributed for food, veterinary, transfers and more, often without me even requesting it. In addition, I met an extraordinary woman who is now my friend and who shows me every day what it means to be great at heart.
In the same way an association from the USA in several opportunities has been of support for me, sending food for my cat with urinary problems, medicated food, which here is very expensive and difficult to get, so good people surround me and I prefer to see more the good than the bad or unpleasant, because although it is necessary to see the evil not to imitate it, it nourishes and fills me more, to see people who do good is stimulating and worthy of imitation.
Por todo lo anterior, puedo decir que la gente de bien y amable, en mi vida sobra y me rodea, también están los tóxicos, pero trato en lo posible de ignorarlos, pues solo logran estresarme y amargarme, cuando lo permito y creo que no vine a este mundo para vivir de ese modo, así que lo mejor es apartarse e ignorar.
Returning to the subject of that friend that I made thanks to my work in animalism, she has been very generous with my cats and with me in repeated opportunities to my cats she has given them bags of food, cans of wet food and sometimes she collaborated with the expenses of that cat that I rescued and to me she gave me a laptop that she had at home to help me in my creation of content in HIVE.
For all the above, I can say that in my life there are plenty of good and kind people around me, there are also toxic people, but I try as much as possible to ignore them, because they only manage to stress me and make me bitter, when I allow it and I believe that I did not come to this world to live that way, so it is best to move away and ignore them.
En resumen, a lo largo de mi vida he visto gente buena, muy buena con grandes actos de bondad para conmigo o mi familia y también están los pequeños esos que notan que necesitas un abrazo, que si bien no es algo costoso, a veces es mas precioso que el oro, esa es la gente que todos necesitamos en nuestra vida, a nuestro alrededor, no puedo retírame sin antes invitar a participar en esta iniciativa a las bellas y talentosas 
In summary, throughout my life I have seen good people, very good people with great acts of kindness to me or my family and there are also the little ones who notice that you need a hug, that although it is not something expensive, sometimes it is more precious than gold, those are the people we all need in our lives, around us, I can not leave without first inviting you to participate in this initiative to the beautiful and talented
