I volunteer both my time and my money as I believe God leads me to. I believe in the principles of "pay it forward" but with no expectations. As God has so richly blessed me, He expects me to bless other people. If I am blessed and retain all the blessings to myself, I become "spiritually constipated". What comes into your body is meant to pass through it. what comes into your life is meant to pass through it. I don't usually pay for a meal at a drive through, but I have. More than likely, I have mystery shopped a fast food restaurant or pizza chain, taken my picture or done my evaluation and then passed the food on to the first panhandler I see on the street corner. That type of blessing doesn't cost me anything to pass on. In the "Pay it Forward" principle you are supposed to do something hard, that costs you something. Setting aside time and giving of yourself to seniors, homeless, or just less fortunate people in this life is hard sometimes with our busy lives and schedules especially when you have children. But I guarantee you that your children will see what you do and follow in your generosity. My daughter does. And my granddaughter does. It is a legacy I wouldn't change for anything. and it doesn't cost me anything that God didn't give me first. This has been your one minute daily devotional. Lol

"Finally, whatever things are good, true, noble, lovely, of good report...if there be any virtue, if there be any praise...think on these things." ....It's a command, not a suggestion!
