It is hard to teach giving when we have so much and there is
so much to want! One way is to let your children or grand-
children see you giving to others, When my girls were small we
made cookies and took then to a rest home. A friend bakes pies
and takes them to the local fire station. One year my Sunday-school
class took a ham to a needy family. There are many places to give this
Christmas season.
IT IS WHAT YOU GIVE
It is what you give
Not what you receive.
It's how you live...
Not just what you believe.
If we do not feed the hungry
They will not hear what we say,
If their stomach is empty,
They won't see God that way.
It one is cold or lonely,
They can't be warmed by a speech.
If we first feed and clothe them
They will listen to what we teach.
We can't feed the world
The poor will always be,
But we can start with one
That one will pass it on, you see.
It's what we give...
That counts so very much.
We're the hands and feet
For those who need the Master's touch!
