There are certain laws, which God orchestrated for our experiences here, such as gravity, attraction and gratitude. Gravity keeps you from floating off into space, a good thing in my opinion, but it can certainly be harmful, if not understood or misused; I remember my brother learning about it, when he received a gift for Christmas one year called 'Kirbangers' (shortly there after they were pulled from the market) LOL
If you are a blessing to others, YOU will also, likewise, be blessed! Those blessings are innumerable, because like a pebble thrown into a brook, the ripples just spread! Far and wide, it creates an effect and sets in motion a vibration of openness, thankfulness and gratitude!
If you're needing some inspiration or suggestions, allow me...
1. Food for the Poor....they are reputable and they do marvelous things for the poorest of the poor.

2. http://fhlkidsranch.com an orphanage in the Phillipines that cares for 40+ children, housing, feeding, clothing and education them, with LOVE!
3. Send a simple card, a thank you, some newspaper clippings, some comics, a crossword puzzle, anything. Our Heroes deserve to know they are appreciated!

The main point here is that it doesn't have to be some over the top gesture, and you would be surprised what you can do or come up with when you are inspired enough and open to giving!
The REAL gift is in the GIVING. Its my prayer that you will discover this JOY for yourself!
Giving

Have a BLESSED week!

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.Proverbs 11:24-25

But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.Mark 12:41-44
And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”Luke 3:11
And he would answer and say to them, “The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise.”Luke 6:30
Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.Luke 6:38

Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.2 Corinthians 9:10
Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;Philippians 4:15-17
And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; for even in Thessalonica you send a gift more than once for my needs. Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.James 2:15-16
If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?*´¨)
