Giving is receiving !

When I was a child my Dad started a grocery store in 1951. I was in the 1st grade ! There were alot of people in our neighborhood who were very poor ! My dad would give them credit . Most everyone would try to pay him back but some could not . At Christmas Dad would just tell them it was their present ! He taught me to give ! His kindness to those people was not forgot ! Sometimes years later people would come and pay him after their lives got better ! Our grocery business only got better with his kindness ! He fed alot of people and never looked back for a pat on the back ! He taught me how to give ! He was a good man ! He died when I was 16 and I ran the grocery store with the help of my aunt and Uncle when I was at school ! I ran that store till I was 18 and followed his path of giving and we prospered !I loved the grocery business but it was very confining and I wanted to get into radio broadcasting so I leased out the business ! What my Dad taught me about giving stays with me today so I give to the food banks meals on wheels program ! Giving to people that we see need help in our lives that are having trouble in their lives ! We do it so they only know that its a gift from God !!Giving is receiving ! It warms your heart ! In this time of need in our country giving is so needed now more than ever . Giving to the food bank is a place to help people in need ! I know it would make my Dad very happy !!
