I think you will consider me a self-promoter, because I do talk about the volunteer projects I'm involved with, especially on my blog. The reason I do so is not to say "hey look at me, I'm so awesome because I did this great thing for others".... it's to let other people know how they can become involved if they want to join in, how they can benefit from services available, or donate if so inclined, or adopt in the case of our shelter dogs. I also believe if you're doing something great for others, letting others see your example might encourage them to do the same or something similar. Encouraging news instead of all the discouraging news, I hope this makes sense and I haven't offended with my spin on it. <br /><br />So, just another way to look at the act of letting people know the good things being done.

Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808143582355044973.post-68562994242947432822014-05-27T14:47:31.288-07:002014-05-27T14:47:31.288-07:00I agree, and while I may be guilty at times I cert...I agree, and while I may be guilty at times I certainly try not to be. <br /><br />You always make me think, and that's good thing.<br />xoxoSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865722713732049339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808143582355044973.post-23169370134267150922014-05-27T13:30:31.208-07:002014-05-27T13:30:31.208-07:00I am glad you brought up this point, it is quite o...I am glad you brought up this point, it is quite opposite of what we are seeing today in almost all aspects of life. What we do needs to be "in secret" and not for accolades. Just saying. Have a great day and keep up with the backyard pics.

Vessels are never as significant as what comes forth from the vessel...right? I also like the concept of giving that God instilled...when giving, give in secret. It is all God's anyway, we are just sharing it all. <br />Great post!Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.com
