The Golden Ladder of Giving 1. To give reluctantly, the gift of the hand, but not of the heart. 2. To give cheerfully, but not in proportion to need. 3. To give cheerfully and proportionately, but not until solicited. 4. To give cheerfully, proportionately, and unsolicited, but to put the gift into the poor person's hand, thus creating shame. 5. To give in such a way that the distressed may know their benefactor, without being known to him or her. 6. To know the objects of our bounty, but remain unknown to them. 7. To give so that the benefactor may not know those whom he has relieved, and they shall not know him. 8. To prevent poverty by teaching a trade, setting a person up in business, or in some other way preventing the need of charity. Maimonides |
today I gave shelter to feral cats by opening my garage door a little so they could climb under and find warmth. The garage they lived in next door to me was torn down when they tore down the abandoned house. Now they have a new shelter...
today I took my old plastic milk cans, cut an opening in the side and filled them with straw and wrapped straw around them using baling twine and hung them from my grape arbor and trellises....the birds will have a new place to find warmth and shelter... tonight is the night it is said the animals speak to god...and tell him of how we have been to them. I look at how sweet my three animals are, asleep in the warmth and safety of my home. Without a doubt they will speak well of me... tonight I pray for all the animals without such a home... |

The ground was covered in snow so I gave the birds and squirrels and rabbits food and put water out for them.

So far today...just refreshed the food and water for "the outdoor kitty." There's a very shy white cat that socializes with our Mabel, but won't let us touch him/her. Doesn't look or act totally like a feral cat...we think that, with all the foreclosed homes in our area, someone left it behind. It was a little thin, but has started to fill out and look better once we started putting food out beside the garage for it. :playingcat:

I gave tips to my niece on how to pick out a puppy in a litter. She had no idea that the puppy she was going to pick would be a destructive high maintenance alpha type dog when grown. She wanted a lower level of care pup, one who would get along with, not dominate her other dog. Hopefully now she will pick better.

I gave someone a hard time...
It was free and no one was harmed in the process of *giving* said hard time... In the process of giving the aforementioned hard time I gave others the gift of laughter... Two for one kinda day... |
i gave a lasting impression
|
Sometimes gifts are disguised
I gave the gift of the truth and tough love.
It may have been somewhat painful for the recipient to hear, however it was necessary and will hopefully help to turn on the proverbial 'light bulb'. |
