Hello Everyone! I apologize for my absence the past few days. But as I mentioned, I had a personal family issue that required my attention. With that being said, I ask that all of you with a praying spirit, please add my mother to your prayers. Her heart is failing her right now. So, it is my prayer request that all of you would pray for her and my family as we deal with her health issue.
Today, I want to get back into The Science of Getting Rich
series that we started over a week ago. If you are just now finding your way to the MLM Success Blog, I would like to welcome you to the site. Please feel free to travel back a few days to catch up with this particular blog discussion.
So, where are we? Oh, we were on Chapter 6 – How Riches Come to You
This is one of my favorite chapters. It really symbolizes the Christian spirit ~ the giving spirit. As a Christian we are taught to give, give, and give some more. We are taught to be a selfless giver, to give without expectations of receiving anything in return. However, by the grace of God, He bestows upon us many wonderful blessings because of our cheerful act of giving.
I love being on the giving side of things. It makes my heart happy to see the smile on someone’s face when they receive something from me that was totally unexpected. Emma Tiebens’ response to me writing about her in one chapter of this series is just one particular example. As much as I am already inspired by how much she has given me and this industry, she is just as inspired by the small things I can give her.
I am actually speaking more from experience than from the chapter in this book. But don’t runaway, I will soon speak of some key points that Mr. Wallace D. Wattles has expressed in The Science of Getting Rich.
But before we go there, there’s a short story I want to share with you.
There was a recent time in my life where I was struggling, and struggling B A D L Y. I had made some unwise financial decisions, I was out of work and I had more bills than the little retirement check could cover. However, I remained faithful that God would see me through it all.
A few weeks (like close to 2 months) without heat, hot water and barely surviving off of Ramen Noodles (this is a true story).. My prayers were finally answered. I received a gift from a dear friend by way of PayPal. She said she was led to send me that gift. So, by the grace of God I had been blessed. Well, it did not stop there. Later I received another blessing, much larger than the first gift I had received. Between the two, it was “precisely” the amount I needed to pay off my current debt, to get the heat back on and to buy some “real” food. It was “precisely” the amount I needed to get back on my feet! Soon after the job came and a steady flow of income resumed.
It was one of the worst times of my life to go from being really comfortable to having absolutely nothing at all, but I learned so much from that experience. I learned that God blesses those that keep the faith. Plus, He rewards those that give from the heart. I have been blessed and my friends have been rewarded (and blessed). Estalinda Roberson and an “Unnamed Source” were just a couple of people who brought the gifts that God wanted me to have. It is my prayer that I will one day be able to do the same for others out there with similar life challenges.
By the way.. I want to publicly thank them for all that they mean to me. Estalinda is away on assignment right now in support of the Haiti earthquake. She just never stops giving. Prayers to her, her family, the victims of the earthquake and their families.
Also, I want to thank my coach, Larry Beacham and mentor, Emma Tiebens for the knowledge they have poured into me. And.. thanks Debra Morrison and Andy Sharp for the prayers and encouragement!!
Okay. That went a little bit longer than I had anticipated. I guess it was just the right time for me to share this story. The situation with my mother and all of the blessings I am most thankful for were just things on my heart today.
With that being said, looks like there will be a second part to this story after all. Tomorrow, I will get back on track with The Science of Getting Rich series.. I promise :~)
Until then.. Be a blessing to someone by giving them an unexpected gift. Like I already said, it does not have to be monetary in value. Give someone your time, some good advice, or just some simple words of encouragement. It will go a long ways towards making their day.. or possibly their life!
God Bless,
Barry O. Canada
