The townβs richest man met with the minister after the Sunday service. βWhy does everyone call me cheap and stingy?β complained the man. βIβve told everyone Iβm leaving half my money to the church when I die.β
The minister nodded. βIt reminds me of the story about the pig and cow. The cow was much loved by the farmer and his neighbours, while the pig was not popular at all. The pig could not understand this and asked the cow about it.”
βHow come you are so well-like cow? People say youβre generous and good because you give milk and butter and cream every day. But I give more than that. From me they get bacon and ham; they even pickle my feet. Yet Iβm not popular and you are. βWhy do you think that is?β
The cow replied, “Perhaps itβs because I give while Iβm still alive.β
Give Lavishly! Live Abundantly!
– Helen Steiner Rice
The more you give, the more you get,
The more you laugh, the less you fret.
The more you do unselfishly,
The more you live abundantly –
The more of everything you share,
The more you always have to spare.
The more you love, the more you’ll find
That life is good and friends are kind,
For only what we give away
Enriches us from day to day.
