THE POPULAR COW
A certain farmer had a cow that was very much loved by his family and neighbours.
He also had a pig that wasn't as popular.
one day the pig said to the cow, "how come everybody likes you so much? People say you are generous because you give milk, butter, and cream every day. Heck!!!
I give more than that. I give bacon and ham. And you can even pickle my feet! Yet I'm not as popular as you are. Whyyyy?????
said the cow, " maybe it is because I give while I'm still alive." what we give after we're dead means little.
What really counts is what we give of ourselves, how much we love, while we've still alive.

So, God help me to give of myself to others today, while I'm still alive.
