HOW TO SPEND THE DASH

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
he referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning....to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered the most of all
was the dash between those years.

For the dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth......
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars...the house...the cash.
what matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard
are there things you'd like to change?
for you never know how much time is left.
(you could be at "dash mid-range.")

If we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile.......
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash.....
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your DASH?

To the world you may be one person,
But to one person you may be the world!

The Bill Is Paid

Bible in a Year:

• Deuteronomy 26–27
• Mark 14:27–53

You shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.

Deuteronomy 26:12

“What happened to you?” asked Zeal, a Nigerian businessman, as he bent over a hospital bed in Lagos. “Someone shot me,” replied the young man, his thigh bandaged. Although the injured man was well enough to return home, he wouldn’t be released until he settled his bill—a policy that many government hospitals in the region follow. After consulting with a social worker, Zeal anonymously covered the bill through the charitable fund he’d earlier set up as a way to express his Christian faith. In return, he hopes that those receiving the gift of release will one day give to others too.

The theme of giving from God’s bounty pulses throughout the Bible. For instance, when Moses instructed the Israelites on how to live in the Promised Land, he told them to give back to God first (see Deuteronomy 26:1–3) and to care for those in need—the foreigners, orphans, and widows (v. 12). Because they dwelled in a “land flowing with milk and honey” (v. 15), they were to express God’s love to the needy.

We too can spread God’s love through sharing our material goods, whether big or small. We might not have the opportunity to personally give exactly like Zeal did, but we can ask God to show us how to give or who needs our help.

Reflect & Pray

How do you think the patients felt who were released because of Zeal? If you’ve experienced an unexpected gift of grace, how did you respond?

God, thank You for caring for those in need. Open my eyes to the material and spiritual needs of those near and far to me, and help me to know how to respond.

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

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

Psalm 130:7 & 8
