EXAMPLE

The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example.

"For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you."

(John: 13:15)

In his autobiography, Armand Hammer known as much for his humanitarian efforts as for being chairman and CEO of Occidental Petroleum, an advisor to presidents from Roosevelt to Reagan, and an industrialist reveals the roots of his giving spirit:

"My father had become a prominent and greatly love figure in the area. . .It was an almost ecstatic experience for me to ride with him when he was on his doctor's rounds. . .Patients at their doors greeted him with such a warmth that waves of pride and honor would surge in me to find myself the son of such a father, a man so obviously good, so obviously deserving of the affection he received. He could have, however, made himself many times richer if he had insisted on collecting all of his bills; or if he could have restrained himself from giving money away; but then he would not have been the man he was. . .I have seen, in his office, drawers full of unpaid bills for which he refused to demand payment because he knew the difficult circumstances of the patients. And I heard innumerable stories from patients about leaving money behind to pay for the prescriptions he had written when he visited people who were too poor to eat, let alone pay the doctor."

What a wonderful legacy to leave your child the "business" of loving and giving to others.

LT S. Edwards, CHC, USNR

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good Lord’s Day to you...((HUGS))...a few minutes away from work...good. Graduation season is upon us. You gonna be swamped as always?

[SouthernHawk]

Time for me to head to the roost! Good night everybody!

As the wind beneath a bird's feathers carries it in flight, so to - let my prayers fly up to heaven. May the LORD hear my prayer as I pray for the safety of each and every one of our military members in harm's way. I pray that their families are protected and provided for.

May the LORD rain blessings down on those who are less fortunate then ourselves and may peace spread throughout the land like the loving embrace of a child's mother! In Jesus's name I pray, AMEN

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, SH. As always a pleasure. Thanks to you, LadyHawk, and Jade Falcon for your service to our country.

[SouthernHawk]

Welcome and by all means, please feel free to make yourself comfortable and enjoy the stay! You are certainly among good friends.

Not Coast Guard, retired Navy.

A very dear, old friend of the Canteen was a Coastie. 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub gave of himself to the Canteen in ways that very few ever have or ever will. We try to honor his contributions by following his example.

Been a Canteener for a long time, just haven't been an active poster for quite a while. Love to do what little that I can and pay tribute to the great dedicated core supporters. You should see more of me and I hope to see more of you. THANKS!

[PROCON]

Thanks FRiend, sleep well!!

[SouthernHawk]

Promise you that on my honor - I will not be so hard to find around the Canteen.

As always, THANK YOU for your kindness to everyone. I will share your compassionate thoughts with LadyHawk and JadeFalcon.

Thank you for your unfailing support of the troops and a special thank for never forgetting us! It means more than you wiill ever know. ****HUGS****

Aloha Night Owl!

My son is working six and sometimes seven days a week...but comes by on Sunday with munchkins in tow. Saturday is my time to figure out a snack for them that's easy to clean up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m trying...d:o) Don’t you forget.

Music server issues this week...no rest, but we all managed to scramble and overcome.

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Grams!

Good advice; I'm voting for your dog this go around. I figure he's AKC, which is more credentials than the other mutts running have.
