Can You Get Excited About Giving?

It's that special time of year once again ... Christmas! A time of giving like none other. It has really got me thinking about giving like never before. What about You ... can You get excited about giving?

Did you know that without giving there is no living? Seriously. Think about it. Try to quit giving breath for about five minutes. Pretty tough huh? You just have to give out in order to receive back. When we breath, we give off carbon dioxide that the beautiful green plants around us in nature need to survive ... but guess what ... those same green plants give off oxygen which we need to survive.

Are you starting to see the picture? Giving really is the stuff that living is all about. The closed hand can never receive ... it is the open palm that receives. Even God Himself gave His love to us before we were able to give our love back to Him. Of course love is like that too ... all about giving.

Now, when was the last time you gave to someone you didn't even know? So you dropped a quarter or a dollar in a guys bucket on the street did you? OK. That's a start. But, what about doing something way over the top that could change another persons life? Did you know that doing so would revolutionize your life as well? I'm talking about a universal law here that is as powerful as the law of gravity -- the law of "giving and receiving."

I have looked at the "cash gifting" community for several years now and some of it has excited me and some of it has totally turned me off. I think if you know what I'm talking about, you know what I mean ... people totally motivated by greed and not really giving out of a heart to help and assist. Now, my whole adult life has been about giving. I and my wife have been involved in ministry since we were married going on 35 years ago. We could have pastored large church congregations and had opportunities, but we were more into giving ... taking small works that we could not expect much from ... and helping them and building them up often at our own expense. So when I came down with MS and eventually lost my ability to stand or walk due to no one being able to diagnose me, we had to resign our church and found ourselves with nothing ... I mean nothing.

We were totally at the mercy of others and found out what it was like to be on the receiving end of countless gifts from friends, family and churches that cared about us. It was our only means of survival for quite some time as my condition worsened to the point of unable to even get on the internet for very much. Then it happened. Back at my home church I met a Neurologist who said she wanted me in her office because she knew she could help me. In two days, she did what doctors had been unable to do in eight years ... diagnose me and start me in treatment and I am well on my way to recovery!

This is getting long so I'll close it for now. A good friend Doug who I had met when I was doing a lot of Internet business knowing my health was deteriorating, called me for the first time in about a year (I had been off the internet due to my condition) and he had found a "cash gifting" system that was genuinely motivated by the desire to give in order to change the lives of others. Furthermore Doug spent his career as a financial adviser and in his retirement works every year giving his time for a major income tax firm to do taxes for seniors and other under-privileged people in an inner city environment. He had totally researched the legality and tax issues with "cash gifting" activity and found this system completely legit.

I knew I could trust Doug and so I made the decision to get involved. I wanted to help others, but my family was still needing some help too and this system was so perfect to put into action the law of giving and receiving. Rob Abrams who had been involved for 9 years in cash gifting systems and was receiving over $100,000 per month, launched this new Global Gifting System a few days ago and it is already working for me.

If You really are needing to turn your own financial life around you need to think about giving as a means to do it. Sow a seed into the life of someone else that is in your same boat and watch what can happen as this powerful law of giving and receiving goes into effect in your life. Check out the Global Gifting System as it will provide a simple system to put this powerful law into action.
