So, in the middle o f the night, he slipped into his brother's barn, and filled it from his overstocking.

In our lives we too, have had wonderful, fam ily persons, caring friends, and sometimes strangers who “ filled our barns” without counting the cost to themselves, nor expecting anything in return Some o f us give even when it seems foolish to those around us. A lot o f us give in d iffer­ ent ways; foster parents, adoptive parents, volunteers for service pro­ grams, visiting the sick, we give to others before we do for ourselves, we give our last dime, we give w hen we virtua lly have nothing to give. We have learned to say I care about you and mean it, we have learned to go an extra mile, and we have also learned that fam ily and friends are not just o f flesh and blood, but o f barns fu ll o f overstocking o f love given without counting the cost. Let’ s remember to give and not ex­ pect nothing in retum-now that’ s real oxerstocking! Witness the manifestation o f the Power o f God Fee! the thrill o f the touch o f the unseen.
