For the church New Year's parties the reminder of a new year and that the hopes of a better future rings in the air. The need to cleanse the soul one last time to start the New Year right with the Lord. Only a reminder that New Year is a time of renewel to the human soul. What mankind failed at last year, hopefully will be forgotten only to bring in new resolutions of how can we improve ourselves and our world around us. No longer just ourselves but the lives of others.

As I stood in line to pay for my things, a new trend occurred in front of me. Four people paid for the person behind them. No strings attached I was told, but attachment came as each one bought for the one behind them. No one considering the deed of giving was so generously past, but the purpose lost when payment was given to another, and then another. The one not paying for another land up being the one truly blessed, but the others paying more then their original intent might not of been so blessed. I hope you all get this. If you go into a bar and someone buys you a drink you are in no obligation to do the same. It like a penny jar in a gas station, meant to lend a penny when one is short a penny. Give a penny when you have extra penny or two. The cycle of giving is lost only to the one not passing the giving on in some form or fashion. Whether it be money, gift, a kind word, or a helping hand. The monkey fashion of I see you do it so I will too, can lead to disaster for another. Yet when the giver gives wisely and out of love the giving will come back in some form or fashion. Do not be ashamed if you give differently then another. The thoughts behind your giving is more important then the gift. The attitude of love is more then obligation is needed to help some out. If you save five dollars and want to give four because of the generousity of another then you have not aped the person in front of you, but past the kind offer on to another.
