I give.....period.............. giving defines me.
What they do with what I give defines them. I refuse to let anyone define where my heart stands. I will get paid back.........it's just how I live and how I believe. |
Well, if you have ever been to Houston...the corner of Westheimer and 610 loop, there is a black man that declares that he is the "real Spiderman" asking for money. I give because he makes me laugh!

I am extrodinarily blessed, way beyond what I derserve or have worked for.
There is no doubt that I am here but by God's grace. I am too damn stupid and opinionated to be anything else. Many time........I have rolled up to an exit and handed a person a twenty. When life has been very good, a "c" note is not out the question. Point is not to brag, it's to point out that the ability to give comes from giving......... This is a big deal to me. My dad has done more for more people than one could possibly imagine, really 10's of thousand of bucks, I am convicted that is why is business is 52 years old, and arguably one of the best in this area, if not the state. You just cannot our give the grace that our Father places on us. not judging anyone that sees it different......I just know what works for me. |

Really, in my eyes, it goes back to an old saying. "Give a man a fish and, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and, he'll eat for a lifetime." |
A few years back I left the house heading to the deer lease in Winfield. I had been working all day in the yard and did not bother to take a shower before I left because I wanted to make an afternoon hunt. Anyway I left the house in a hurry and managed to forget my wallet on the bar and I did not discover this till I made it to bunkie (3 hours,from the house) when I stopped for gas. Well I hated to do it but I had to do it but did not have a choice but to ask for gas money for the truck. After an hour of being told to go get screwed some one offered to fill up my truck so I could make it back to the house. I made sure to get the mans address and when I got home I sent him 4 times the cost it was to fill up my truck To this day if I run into someone asking for gas money I offer to put what they need in the tank. Problem is I was only taken up on the offer once.

i always give when i can...and what they do with the money is there choice but i leave there knowing I tried. I could care less what they use it for but like to think the ones I give to use it appropriately. When i lived in Galveston the bums were everywhere and this built a tolerance level in me and i woulda been broke in a week had i handed over change to every bum.
Just the other day on the corner of highway 14 exit ramp had a fella with a sign that said hungry and need food....nothing about money etc. I had a few cans of vienna sausage in my truck from a previous fishing trip and asked if that would suit him...his reply was...."HELL Yeah man....I'm freaking hungry" and smiled when i handed him over the food. I was actually impressed! |
