Thread: Do unto others silently

My wife pays it forward often. She says she would rather do that than put money in the collection plate at church where she has no control over where it goes after that. She works at a pharmacy and she knows whose genuinely in need. She paid for an elderly lady's groceries at Brookshire's yesterday. She has also paid for the people in line behind her in the McDonalds drive thru too.

I rarely do that, but I don't mind helping others. A huge limb broke out of an oak tree in the yard of an elderly man and I loaded up the power saw and cut it up and hauled it off for him last month. If I think about it, I'll go out of my way to do a good deed. Most of the time though, honestly, I have other things on my mind and miss opportunities to do more.

Nice story bowhunter. GTT

ABH, I agree, I think that is the way God wants us to give in a humble "silent" way, Good for you. GTT, this world needs more acts of kindness like you and your wife recently displayed. I don't mean to start Sunday off with a sermon however that kind of generosity and thoughtfulness inspires me.

The opportunities are always there and if you stop and look, you can find them. Problem is..........I don't stop and look as often as I should. I think lots of us are that way. GTT

I believe there are two different kinds of people in this world, the holders, an the givers. I'm glad that Christ didn't hold back in what we all needed. As I've heard so many times in my life is the saying " better to give than to receive" this is a true statement.
