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.

Aloha Ladies!

Sorry for the delay but had to hurry off to my foreman's wife's Baby Shower. I was hesitant about going to a baby shower, thought I'd be out of place. It was tough duty but when the going gets tough, grandpas like me knuckle down and accept the challenge.

My son and the kids went along and all had a great time since there were lots of other little kids there to play with. There were other husbands and fathers that got dragged off to the party to perform duties of cooking and cleaning, blowing up balloons for the kids and making a valiant attempt to be useful. All in all, I thought we did well.

Looking over the celebration, the friends and relatives. the kids, the expectant mother, the proud daddy. was a gift I'll cherish.

Good Lord's Day, scrabblehack, and thanks for filling in the Food Administrator's name.

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

Where does a FREE America get such selfless Lifesaving Heroes?

From being FREE, that’s where:

Hi, EGC! It’s going just great. Had a lovely morning of
worshiping God, a yummy Mexican Food lunch, and now—since it’s too hot (102!!) to go outdoors, I think it’s nap time!

Hope you and your family have a blessed Sunday together!
