Read "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" (Luke 10:25-37).
The only gift is a portion of thyself.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not what we give, but what we share --
For the gift without the giver is bare;
Who gives himself with his alms feeds three --
Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.
--James Russell Lowell
Behold, I do not give lectures or a little charity,
When I give I give myself.
--Walt Whitman
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
--Kahlil Gibran
Prayer: O God, help us always to give of ourselves when we give to others. Keep us mindful that we are to be Your servants while we are here. Amen.
--Evelyn M. Gilmer (born 1923)
