Birthday Gifts: Fruit trees make great gifts.
Gratitude.
They say it is one of the primary feelings that express joy and happiness. When
you are so happy you thank the powers-that-be, your friends and family, you are
being grateful for all that you have. It’s a silent prayer you offer to the
Universe.
Few
joys express that kind of gratitude when a child is born in the family. That
the newborn is healthy and complete in every way possible is not a rare thing.
And yet, gratitude abounds in the family when the baby cries a hearty wail for the
first time. Amidst shrieks of joy and tears of happiness, there are promises to
spoil the child silly,-arguments over the name, short-term and long-term plans
for the child’s future. Prayers are offered at places of worship and
celebrations are announced at home.
Why not share
this joy and gratitude with the Universe, too?
Why not make
the world a better place for the same child?
When you hold
the child with extreme care and ensure that the room he sleeps in is clean, why
not give him a chance to breathe fresh air, too?
Why not plant
a fruit tree?
One that
helps a less-privileged family to give its little ones fresh mangoes or apples
or guavas?
Or some extra
income from the produce, for that matter?
Why not make
the world a better place for other children, too?
In fact,
happy days such as weddings, anniversaries, are a perfect time to plant a tree.
Planting a
tree to mark auspicious days is a tradition in several world cultures. Commit
to a relationship or renew your vows by planting a tree and see the love grow,
what do you say?
