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.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, HJ.

You had a busy last weekend....any respite this Saturday?

[PROCON]

Evening Kathy!

Not much happening on my end; LAZY DAY, which is OK!

The beloved Beaver Baseball team won again against the hated UW Huskies, my Alma Mater, LOL!

How you doing?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, teen...*HUGS*...how has your week been? Good weather? Minimal “irritations”? I’ve been busier than a one armed paperhanger.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

[Dubya]

[oldteen]

Hiya FRiend! *hugs*

Are ya still around? If not, sorry I missed ya. Had a phone call...a very L O N G phone call. A relative calling with bad news about another relative. But, so it goes!

[oldteen]

Well...ya got me on the streetlight thing...we didn’t have any! lol

[oldteen]

Week has been good...bad...and otherwise! :)

Weather had been nice but they say rain coming in tonight with thunderstorms tomorrow..but, who knows.

"Irritations" were horrible for several days but are much better, thanks.

I'd say you are VERY busy then!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hurrah!!! You won! I’ve been busy most of the day, trying to tidy things that have been left undone all week.

Had to scan my computer, as it decided to lock up and didn’t seem to want to participate by doing its job. Then, like last night, it went on strike against providing any sound. More rebooting. If I had a personal genie, he/she would be taking care of my computer’s health 24/7.

It’s been sunny and lovely all day, except for about a half hour of blowing like a banshee. I sure do wish we could have a good day of rain. All the plants and trees and skylights need a really good, long shower.

[HiJinx]

Quiet day today - just watered the lawn and washed the car.

Inspirational Quote to Lift Your Spirit

Live in such a way that those who know you
but don't know God
will come to know God because they know you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours, Nana Hope, and thanks for today's Pledge. Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Lo-key is awfully nice on occasion. Good for you.

[Diver Dave]

Evenin’ BG and teeniebopper.

Great message once again.

Cooling down tonight and a few sprinkles fell from the sky when I took the dogs out a few minutes ago.

May y’all have a Blessed Lord’s Day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Dubya...what a striking POW graphic. Thanks.

[oldteen]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you DD!

I haven't been out but if you had sprinkles we most likely have had the same. I've so been hoping the nice weather would stick around as I didn't get the grass cut yet this week. Oh well, it does need watering! :)
