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.

Good morning Connie and (((HUGS))) to you.

I feel half sick having to listen to the two on line briefings.

Sounds like you had an awesome tree when you were growing up (where did you grow up, btw?).
One of our creates a sort of cave too, but it's not strong enough for climbing.

Heh heh. Not only do you get stained hands, but you get stained feet too from walking under the tree where so many ripe ones have fallen. I remember my baby brother's little feet getting so purple last year from that...

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

All the mulberry trees around here are fruitless.

Good evening Meg and (((HUGS))) to you. Picked more fresh veggies from the garden. Just a matter of days and we will be having to make some tomato sauce and freeze it for later in the year. I also got more fresh squash and cucumbers. There a couple of onions that are ready to pull too.

[MEG33]

I know how great it is to have veges from the garden..It’s hard work..but it pays off!
