What do you have today that will make others happy? Give it away! - Daily Bible Reflections September 22,2014


GARAGE SALE
 
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it” — when you have it with you. – Proverbs 3:27-28
 
       I love the idea of a garage sale, because it does everyone a world of good. Families are able to dispose of unwanted things and earn extra money, and passersby acquire cool finds with the dignity of buying them at great bargains.
       My dad, who was a whiz with numbers, loved being the cashier. Whenever a customer came to pay, Dad would look the person in the eye, flash a warm smile, and give some trivia about each item. Then he would compute the total amount and announce it to the customer. Then comes his favorite part. He would give a discount — usually a huge one! The rest of us disapproved of this, telling him it was unnecessary to give discounts on already cheap prices. But Dad ignored us and sometimes even gave things away when he felt a customer really liked it or needed it badly.
       But this was who Dad was, not only during garage sales, but every day. Although far from rich, Dad never thought twice about giving people money, clothes, food, advice, time or prayers they needed. His satisfaction was in doing good for others right at the moment of need.
       I am working on being just like him. Geraldine G. Catral (catral@beaconschool.ph)
 
Reflection: What do you have today that will make others happy? Give it away!
 
Lord, make me sensitive and generous to the needs of others.
