YOU CAN DO SOMETHING

"Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have." - Jim Rohn

The process of 'giving' - whether in cash or in kind - will only serve to open your world in ways you could not even begin to imagine, and you will feel a lot better than before you actually offered that help in the first place. Do you know that, nothing exalts the soul or gives it a sheer sense of buoyancy, and victory so much as being used to change the lives of other people?

An elderly widow, restricted in her activities, was eager to serve Christ. After praying about this, she realized that she could bring blessing to others by playing the piano. The next day she placed this small ad in the Oakland Tribune: "Pianist will play hymns by phone daily for those who are sick and despondent--the service is free." The notice included the number to dial. When people called, she would ask, "What hymn would you like to hear?" Within a few months her playing had brought cheer to several hundred
people. Many of them freely poured out their hearts to her, and she was able to help and encourage them.

God is so magnanimous in a way that 'no one has everything, but everyone has something.' Everyone is able to give something, and no one is able to give everything. In giving, do we truly find what we seek ourselves. It's Christmas again, you can put a smile on someone's face. You might not able to play the piano, but you can hold the door open at the mall for someone, or flash a smile at that begger on the side walk. Whatever it is, encourage someone.
