Give prayerfully... give joyfully...and ask God to use your gifts to help others in the name of Jesus.

Often volunteer work leads to employment.

We spend all our time and energy pampering our bodies and minds, but if we ignore our souls, we will end up spiritually starved and malnourished.

Your life is intricately woven into the lives of scores and hundreds of others around you. Consider the variety of lives that you influence in one day. Somewhere within your circle of contacts someone is being hurt. Are you aware of it?

We must not build up ourselves at the expense of others.

When we are a comfort and encouragement to others, we are sometimes surprised at how it comes back to us many times over.

God has given us two hands--one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

Never expect God to do for you what you don't do to others.

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

There are two ways of exerting one's strength; one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant, unexpected encouragements of this kind (surprises) if he makes up his mind to do his level best each day of his life -- that is, tries to make each day reach as nearly as possible the high-water mark of pure, unselfish, useful living. I pity the man, black or white, who has never experienced the joy and satisfaction that come to one by reason of an effort to assist in making someone else more useful and more happy.

There is joy in self-forgetfulness. So I try to make the light in others' eyes my sun, the music in others' ears my symphony, the smile on others' lips my happiness.
