You noticed a new i-phone, I pad, and the expensive ear buds for their music. You noticed one day, they had put a 60 inch tv in the bedroom you let them use. Suppose for a moment you took in a friend or a family member who was just plain down and out. I did not fully understand the gift I had been given and the cost that she had paid. She had made this huge sacrifice for me, and all I was willing to offer to her were parts of my leftovers. I realize now today, that I probably hurt my mom more in that instant, that I had ever done before. All the joy in her face disappeared, and she slowly walked away. “ I told her well, I have to buy gas, I have to buy oil, and I have to by some things for myself, but if there was something left over, I would give her some of it. She then asked me, “how much would I be able to give her toward the lawnmower. I could see little dollars dancing in my head. She could see the happiness in my face and I in hers. She was thrilled when she presented the lawnmower to me. My mom wanted me to not only learn the discipline of work, she wanted me to be happy and to have some spending money in my pocket. We lived in Dublin Ga, and there were plenty of yards up and down the street that I could possibly cut. I’m not sure how she managed to scrape the money together to buy me that lawnmower.

My mother wanted me to be able to learn how to earn money and to work for myself. I can remember when I got my first lawnmower.
Why Should I Give When I’ve Got Bills To Pay
