In Humility I Speak

I believe in letting good deeds you do for others be known of only by that person and God.  Therefore I am very hesitant in telling my story today because this is one of those instances.  I have been testing the waters more than usual concerning the law of reciprocity and doing unto others as you would unto the Lord.  The incidents that I were involved in today are merely further proof that what you do for others will come back to you...multiplied.  Without going into the actual events let me just say that it is true.  As people we fight the urge to give and expect nothing in return.  When it comes to working for the government or some large institution we often encounter supervisors who are reluctant to give their employees the maximum bonus, even though it is well within their power to do so.  When we encounter this type of attitude we usually say something like "They act as if it's their money".   Now what we must recognize is that this stingy and selfish attitude displayed by that supervisor is not any different from our own attitudes when it comes to whether someone can be blessed, (helped, relieved, comforted), by our own hands.  After all, we have what little we do possess by the grace of God and it is His to do as He pleases.  When our fists become clenched tight around our money and possessions our blessings become nonexistent and do not materialize.   That is all I will say on the matter.  You can do as you like but as for me.....
Have a good day.
Dennis
