Your Age X Good Deeds, a Big Wow

       This isn't my idea but a great one it is. Yesterday on a drive home, I heard on my favorite radio station, a story about a guy aged thirty-two who is doing good deeds according to his age. What a great idea!
        So I decided to do the same. With my age however this will be ongoing until the years end-ouch. A nice thing to look forward to, I hope to pass it on as it has been passed on to me. So how about you? How many good deeds can you do and it doesn't have to be about money. There are any worthwhile deeds which are cost free, so get started. I am doing my first one today. No brag, just fact :)

Free Exchange of Community Help, Time Banking

       

The word FREE usually engages people more often than not. Tonight I was introduced to this great product of human decency. As I sat and listened in a small meeting house room, people were filled with ideas and questions. These Time Banks are all over and unknown to many like myself.
       Where else can you put yourself in as a deposit and withdraw someone else without penalty but with human profit. If you believe in God, I believe this is what He knows we were always meant to do.
        Anytime we need a service the first thing we worry about is cost and honesty. This is a no cost, but an exchange of the best of you. The human factor. Remember years ago when neighbor helped neighbor? Somehow we lost the way and yes I know personally there are very good people out there and here who are more than willing to give, to freely help. But the cycle of giving and taking pays off, always!
          Try giving first, Join a Time Bank in your area. Ask your church or school if they are aware of Time Banks. It's an investment that yields a higher rate of return than any Stone building will give you. Go to a health food store. Chances they are aware of Time Banks. Seek and ye shall find.
     Here are a few ways to contact Time Banks
timebanks.org
 in Allentown Pa.  tdn.timebanks.org   They are in most states. You'll be glad you did and by the way this is a perfect way to set an example for your children. Now, go do some good.

This took place tonight in York County PA.
