I thoroughly enjoy witnessing a blessed moment and pondering the question ” who is more blessed?” I discover the trickle down effect can be so powerful it should be called a trickle up effect…

The ”who is more blessed” moments that I write about are usually moments that I have witnessed. For example the young child being pushed on the swing or the raindrop on the beautiful flower, or witnessing the loving embrace of a child and grandparent etc. I know and feel the gift of feeling uplifted and feeling love for the rest of the day. I know it touches many lives as I go throughout my day in a loving manner.

You know, being kind to the check-out clerk, slowing down to let a merging driver in effortlessly, saying hello to the mail carrier, being kind and not judgmental to co-workers and of course treating my partner with love, respect and admiration.

So anyway that’s what I experience after witnessing a “who is more blessed” moment.

What I hadn’t thought of is how people are affected when they witness a “who is more blessed” moment when it is me that is in the loving act that causes someone else to ponder the question “who is more blessed?”

Let me explain; during the last holiday while visiting my Mom, my partner, lover and best friend and I were exchanging greeting cards and my mother was watching.

First let me explain something about my partner and I. We love to exchange greeting cards. We love picking them out and adding our own funny or serious personal lines of love. We laugh, we cry, we hug and get all mushy. We think Hallmark must have us in mind when they create those beautiful cards.

When Mom saw the way I was looking into my partner’s eyes and how she was looking into mine and we were getting all teary-eyed and emotional and mushy and just adoring each other, my mom quietly posed the question ”who is more blessed?”

Of course my Mom reads my writing and so therefore she is familiar with the “who is more blessed” theme, so the idea and question of “who is more blessed?” came to her while she witnessed a couple so in love and sharing love. The way we looked at each other resonated very deeply with Mom.

With Mom’s heart so full of joy from this experience she could then carry with her and share this joy throughout her day.

So when you witness a “who is more blessed” moment receive it as a gift to you. Embrace it, let it in, carry the joy with you. Let it expand your heart, awareness, and thinking. Really ponder “who is more blessed?” like Mom did.

She questioned “who is more blessed?” The couple so in love and exchanging cards and tears of joy, or is it me, witnessing and being filled with love and joy, or is it the provider of love and tears of joy?
