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.

Wouldn’t hold my breath waiting on BG to respond even if every point you make is as right as rain. Personally, I award you max points for at least trying to stay somewhat to the topic of this website.

Intersting info on A. Hammer.

I know I for one certainly had not heard this before as I imagine others had not.

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

A good message....

Well, today was Armed Forces Day ... so I went with a girlfriend to a luncheon at her church to celebrate the day. It was nice! Came home and went swimming since we hit 101 this afternoon. Tomorrow (Sunday) it’s forecast for 106 and cloudy — ugh! The air quality here is pretty bad, too .... they said “unhealthy for sensitive groups” (which would include me, with my asthma!) My plan is to lay low, and sneak in a few dips in the pool to cool off. And, of course, I’ll be watering my tomatoes!

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." -from THE BIBLE: Ephesians 6:10-12
