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.

[oldteen]

I love hearing others childhood memories!

I have them of climbing trees, playing outdoor games until late, finding the largest water hole possible in the summer (with a long rope for swinging..woo-hoo), all day bicycle rides, picking cherries, tomatoes, peaches, cutting grapes and going home with a dollar was a BIG deal..we thought we were rich! Ahh...the good old days!

We had a sandstone dry creek (crick if your from Oklahoma):) running the length of our property in the back.

No parental unit could see us in there & when the rains came, depending on the rainfall it could run like a swift river.

Kudos to my parents...such a great place to be as a kid.

A couple hundred acres of cattle land beyond the back fence line. It was our playground.:)

Just had to be home by the time the street light came on.
