GIVING

There is a story of two young men who were working their way through Stanford University. The day came when they were broke, and something had to be done. One of them had an idea. They would engage the great Paderewski for a piano recital and put their profits toward their board and tuition. All they had to do was guarantee two thousand dollars.

The recital was held but only sixteen hundred dollars was raised. Following the performance, the two young men went to Paderewski, offered him the $1600 and added a promissory note for $400 which indicated they would earn the balance as quickly as possible and send it to him. "No," replied Paderewski, "that isn't necessary." In addition to tearing up the note, he also gave them back all but 10% of the sixteen hundred dollars.

The years went by, and Pederewski became Premier of Poland. The devastation of World War I descended upon Europe, and he was faced with the prospect of starvation for thousands of people. Only one man could help him, the United States Food Administrator at the time. Soon thousands of tons of food began to arrive in Poland for distribution among the people. Following the gift of life-giving food, Paderewski went to Paris to thank the U.S. Food Administrator for the relief he had sent. The administrator told Paderewski, "That's not necessary, Mr. Paderewski. You don't remember, but you once helped me when I was a student without income or money for food. I never forgot it."

The gifts we give come back to us in many different ways.

Good Lord’s Day, Meg....great choice of a picture to go with your prayer for our troops. Thank you.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

It’s very fitting that I come to you, my Canteen FRiends to ask them to keep in their prayers Chaplain (LTC) Larry Blum.

Chaplain Blum was my Brigade Chaplain...3rd Bde. 1st Armored Division Baghdad Iraq 2003-04.

Ch. Blum had to return early from his second tour in Iraq and was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

They were able to operate but only got part of the tumor. He’s had to go through some grueling Chemo to try and get the rest of it.

He just within the last couple weeks was taken out of ICU.

His condition is worsening as other organs fail or weaken due to the Chemo.

I never missed an opportunity to be his driver or gunner on his vehicle. Joked with him that I did it to increase my chances of staying alive LOL!.

He is one of the nicest most Christian people you will every meet.

He was the source of comfort to so many of us in the Brigade when we’d lose a fellow soldier. I hope the Lord and those of us that were part of his “flock” can give him the same kind of comfort and strength.

If anyone would like to sign his guest book:
