Brother

My older brother said, “You don’t have to do this.”

I replied, “When I was an idiotic teenager, drunk and being a fool, you came to take me home.  When I needed a car, you sold me yours for half of its value. When I was messed up in a hill with a loaded logging truck, you came to the rescue, and then when I was in Bible college, you sent money every month.” I need to do this.

Does the Bible address something like this? Glad you asked

Proverbs 11:25

The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.

I could never repay his generosity, but I was compelled to try. Is there someone who has shown you kindness and it’s now time for you to provide refreshment in some form?  Give it some thought.
