My parents have been an example to me when it comes to helping out a neighbor. They are always generous toward others even when they don’t have a lot to give. I have seen God reward them over and over again.
When I started working for a McDonald’s , I had no paid vacation time. Five years went by without any time off from work. I had two young children at home at the time. I was sort of complaining to my parents on how hard it was. They lived some 2,000 miles away. My father as always said he would pay for my time off and pay for my family to visit. My parents had not yet seen their grandchildren. I knew they really couldn’t afford it but my father would not take no for an answer. We had just purchased a new car and new we could drive that far without car problems. We loaded the kids in the car and drove the 2,000 miles in three days. We were all sitting around the living room , visiting with family and relatives. My father and mother play the lottery everyday. They play the three numbers, four numbers and the six number lottery. On the three and four numbers my parents play the same number for the week. As we were talking, the drawing for the lottery came on. Suddenly everyone started laughing. My father won the three number lotttery. He went with a relative to cash it in. It was a pretty good sum of money. The next day we were visiting again. The drawing came on. The same three numbers that were drawn the day before came up again. My father won the lottery again. What are the odds that the same numbers would come up two days in a row. My father paid for our entire vacation and even gave us money to take home with us. Like I said I have seen God reward their charity many times. I really think we have become stingy with our money in America and fail to help a neighbor in need . God rewards a cheerful giver.
