Reciprocity and the law of the universe?

On the weekend, the pastors wife Radini Pamela talked about reciprocity in Gods Kingdom. She was on her way to a women's meeting at our church and wanted to buy 2 packets of cookies – one for afternoon tea with the ladies and the other for her 2 kids at home. Upon purchase she decided she would take all the cookies to the women at church instead.
On her way back from the meeting, one of the women came running after her to say she had a packet of cookies that Pamela could give her kids --- that was instant reciprocation!

Anyway, I bring that up because I have been BLESSED at thousands of dollars worth of baby equipment – so my son might be minimally dressed for a while!! But whew aren’t we thankfully we gifted away everything we had prepared with Esther because we have been blessed in terms of a crib for the first few months, a cot for 3months to 2 years, a pram for the first few months and a jogger stroll for when I want to exercise and take him too (thank you Tanya (pictured) for your optimism!!!!), a car seat that doubles as a rocker, a baby carrier, a baby bjorn, and heaps of other goodies that will make it hard for me to say I wont have another baby once im done with this one.

I mean hey --- if having all this equipment makes having a baby a fun vatatalo (that’s "playing with toys" for you non-fijian speaking types!) affair --- man id do it again! (Take note that hormones have often been known to change brain activity in pregnant women!)

Some people call it Karma but I think its just the law of the universe – what you give comes back to you – you give bad, you get bad – you give good, that comes back too!
