You are here to celebrate your gifts...and to be thanked for using them.
Your Gift is the gift of GIVING.
I’ve never liked Halloween...Dad dressed me as a toilet...
Let’s skip Halloween and start Thanksgiving early... To give thanks for the ability to give.
Blessed to be raised by giving parents in a giving community. Dad: spanked: 10cent vs. 15cent coke. Fire: $500
Greatest leaders I’ve known, were servants...givers: James Brim... Martin Burrus...mud, Dosh
If I could add one course to the Triopia curriculum: Giving, volunteering

How do we fight evil? By getting there first...by meeting the
needs of our fellow man before others do.
...Gangs will meet the needs of youth....
....Drugs & Alcohol will meet the needs of the lonely and depressed
...Hate groups will meet the needs of the fearful..
Girl student...at Triopia for 4th time in 5 years..shuffled from
parent to parent, divorce, abuse, ....last week: sentenced to
jail for hitting a J’ville policeman....
The easy answer: Yes! She deserves it!
The hard answer: someone take her in her arms and tell her
they love her....
Giving heals ourselves...
Becky E...funerals
James Dobson
Albert Sweitzer
And finally, I’ll end where I began...if I had the opportunity to add one course to all schools....Giving... New School Improvement Plan...Milions of dollars, much time, effort... ....all the new things we must do to improve our schools...
Tons of paper...not one mention of MORALITY.
Not one mention of KINDNESS TO OTHERS
Not one mention of WHY WE MUST GIVE...
And...don’t worry if you don’t receive much reward... Conway Twitty
Congratulations on being honored here tonight..For as you give of yourselves, you are teaching giving.
