Give It Away... Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. - Matthew 10:8 (NIV) Read and enjoy... "The phone rang late one night after I had already gone to bed. It was my friend, Jim, who said, “I’m sorry for calling so late, old buddy, but I just had to give you something.” “Give me something?” I replied. He explained that he had recently promised himself — and God — that he would give away something every day that year. “It doesn’t have to be a big deal,” he said. “I’ve given a quarter to a kid who lost his money in a candy machine, or a book I’ve enjoyed to someone I think will like it. But I realized just a few minutes ago that I hadn’t given anything away yet today, so I thought I’d call you.” “What are you going to give me over the phone?” I asked. “It may not be much,” he answered, “but it’s something.” He then proceeded to read me a short poem that expressed his deep love and respect for me. It was truly a gift. Imagine giving something away every day for a year — or even for a month or a week! It may seem incredible, but it’s not impossible — as my friend’s late night phone call proves! Such generosity can bless the one who gives, even as it blesses those who receive." -Robert R. Hostetler (Ohio, USA)
