  • Giving Quote #1

    A wealthy and wise man doesn't shake hands with people, he gives an helping hand.

    Michael Bassey Johnson

  • Giving Quote #2

    A woman baked bread for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby.

    She kept the extra bread on the Window-sill, for whosoever would take it away.

    Every day, a hunch-back came and took away the bread. Instead of expressing gratitude,

    he muttered the following words as he went his way:

    "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

    This went on, day after day. Every day, the hunch-back came, picked up the bread and uttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

    The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude," she said to herself...

    "Everyday this hunch-back utters this jingle! What does he mean?

    "One day, out of despiration, she decided to do away with him. "I shall get rid of this hunch-back," she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the bread she prepared for him! As she was about to place it on the window sill, her hands trembled. "What is this I am doing?" she said.

    Immediately she threw the bread into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window-sill.

    As usual, the hunch-back came, picked up the bread and muttered the words:

    "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

    The hunch-back proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman. Everyday, as the woman placed the bread on the window-sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return.

    That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway.. He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, "Mom, it's a miracle I'm here. While I was but a mile away, I was so hungry that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunch-back passed by. I begged of him for a small part of his food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole bread. "As he gave it to me, he said, "This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!"

    "As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale and red. She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned bread that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life!

    It was then that she realized the significance of the words: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

    Do good and; Don't ever stop doing good, even if it's not appreciated at that time.

  • Giving Quote #3

    Accomplishments don’t erase shame, hatred, cruelty, silence, ignorance, discrimination, low self-esteem or immorality. It covers it up, with a creative version of pride and ego. Only restitution, forgiving yourself and others, compassion, repentance and living with dignity will ever erase the past.

    Shannon L. Alder

  • Giving Quote #4

    Active love doesn’t ask: 'What does this person have to offer me?' Rather: 'What do I have to offer this person?

    All of us want to do well. But if we do not do good, too, then doing well will never be enough.

    Anna Quindlen

  • Giving Quote #8

    All the words you said,
    echo inside your head,
    Make sure you said nothing wrong,
    But I guess thats why I'm writing this song.
    This isn't some kind of bad theme song,
    But I hope after this we can all get along.

    You make fun of them everyday at school,
    All because in your opinion their not cool,
    You may think your words have no effect,
    Just another joke, about the next lame reject,
    But your words stab like a sword,
    You think everything you say will be ignored,
    But tomorrow they maybe gone,
    And you'll just move right on....
    But what about the ones who loved them,
    What about their parents, to them they were a gem,
    Now lost forever, wish it could be better,
    But now all thats left of them, is The Letter.

    You think just because he doesnt speak,
    That he's a freak,
    Bet you wouldn't know that his mom did drugs,
    As soon as he was born, taken away, no real love, no real hugs,
    Bet you didn't know he was adopted,
    But by that time, he'd already been affected.
    So when you called him a freak,
    He tried to find relief,
    Then he was gone,
    You've just moved on,
    What about his parents,
    to them he was a gem,
    Now lost forever, wish it could be better,
    But now all thats left of him, is The Letter.

    So next time you crack a joke,
    Think who it might have broke.
    Your words can hurt,
    Make a wonderful person...feel like dirt.

    Maybe you could save a life,
    Help one more person put down their knife,
    If we all come together,
    We could all make it better,
    Then maybe this time...
    There won't be...The Letter.

  • Giving Quote #12

    An eight-year-old boy had a youger sister who was dying of leukemia, and he was told that without a blood transfusion she would die. His parents explained to him that his blood was probably compatible with hers, and if so, he could be the blood doner. They asked him if they could test his blood. He said sure. So they did and it was a good match. Then they asked if he would give his sister a pint of blood, that it could be her only chance of living. He said he would have to think about it overnight.

    The next day he went to his parents and said he was willing to donate the blood. So they took him to the hospital where he was put on a gurney beside his six-year-old sister. Both of them were hooked up to IVs. A nurse withdrew a pint of blood from the boy, which was then put in the girl's IV. The boy lay on his gurney in silence while the blood dripped into his sister, until the doctor came over to see how he was doing. Then the boy opened his eyes and asked, "How soon until I start to die?"

  • Giving Quote #13

    An Eye Witness Account from New York City on a cold day in December some years ago: A little boy of about 10 years old was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?" "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with a towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?" As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words: "Are you God's Wife?"

  • Giving Quote #16

    Any fear associated with giving to God's kingdom is irrational. It's on par with a farmer who, out of fear of losing his seed, refuses to plant his fields.

    Andy Stanley

  • Giving Quote #20

    as the old saying goes: if you teach a man to fish, he will feed himself for a lifetime. But if you just give him a fishing pole, he’ll have to teach himself.

    Zechariah Barrett

  • Giving Quote #21

    As we draw on the grace of God He increases voluntary poverty all along the line. Always give the best you have got every time; never think about who you are giving it to; let other people take it or leave it as they choose. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never reserve anything; never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives.

    Oswald Chambers

  • Giving Quote #22

    As we receive, we give.

    Lailah Gifty Akita

  • Giving Quote #23

    As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.

    Mary Anne Radmacher

  • Giving Quote #24

    As you give to fund God's needs, are you forced to trust Him to provide for yours? That's what a growing faith is about. And over the long haul, it's not enough just to commit to a percentage. Growth means reviewing your giving goals and occasionally increasing the percentage you give.

    Andy Stanley

  • Giving Quote #25

    Be informed here and now that incessant prayers does not finger God to open the Windows of heaven. What God wants to see Is your passion towards success and your giving drive...nothing else!
