Freeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel Thread ~ EXAMPLE ~ May 15, 2011

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)

A gentleman known as much for his humanitarian efforts as for being an advisor to presidents from Roosevelt to Reagan, and an industrialist reveals the roots of his giving spirit:

"My father was a prominent and greatly love figure in his area of work. . .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

Onward Christian Soldiers



Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.



O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

How interesting: I log on, and the first thread on the page is this one.

This gives me something to send myself for reading at work tonight.

Thanks for the happy coincidence.
