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.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good Sunday morning, Pusterfuss...((HUGS))...38 so far, but should be 60 later. Hope you had a restful Saturday.

[Pusterfuss]

Hope you had a restful Saturday.

It really was. Morning was the men's breakfast, and I went to my uncle's funeral in the afternoon. He was really like a parent to me when I was growing up. He had a great life and made it to age 93, so it wasn't a sad event at all.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good Lord’s Day, E...((HUGS))...have a good Sunday. Gonna take Bo to the lake?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sorry for your loss, but glad your uncle had a full and good life.

[E.G.C.]

I may take him out to the lake tommorow. I have a shopping trip I have to do today though.

[Arrowhead1952]

Thanks for the thread and the pings.

A Blessed Lord’s day to you all.

I haven’t been on FR since Friday, so have some catching up to do.

The Psalms 121

The LORD Is Thy Keeper

A Song of degrees.

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper:
the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.
