you lend a hand?

A club for a good cause? Wow...at least the
world's getting better in some places. :) Especially an
idea such as pay it forward. Although I was
dissappointed in the ending of "Pay It Forward"(well, was a
good movie, just didn't think the boy needed to be
killed honestly...was too much)Anyway, the idea
fascinated me! What better way to change the world than
doing HUGE favors for people to change their
lives!<br><br>Now, I've just joined this club today...only saw the
movie a few days ago! But, still amazed at the
idea!<br><br>Sara

realize that everything we do,<br>Affects not only our
lives, but touches others too.<br><br>A single happy

             someone you care,<br>Creates a ray of
sunshine for both of you to share.<br><br>Yes, every time
you offer someone a helping hand,<br>Every time you
show a friend that you understand,<br><br>Every time
you have a kind and gentle word to give,<br>You help
someone to find beauty in this precious life <br>

brings happiness and loving ways bring love,<br>And
giving is the treasure, that contentment is made

THE FIRST LOVE by Jonathan Cahn<br>Taken from
Sapphires, Rabbi Cahn's free monthly devotional:<br>In
Hebrew the word for love is Ahavah.  Love is what the
Bible is all about.  It’s B'resheet (Genesis) 22, when
God says to Avraham (Abraham), “Take now your son,
your only son, whom you love, Yitzchak (Isaac), and go
to the land of Mirah and offer him there as a burnt
offering…” The first appearance of the word love in the
Bible is speaking about the love of a Father for a Son.
  The Bible is about the love of a Father for a
Son, God, the Father, for God the Son.  This is the
First Love in the universe.  This is the Love that
makes all other love possible.  It’s by this Love that
we are saved, and are born again.   And it is this
Love that must be the basis of our love.  It’s the
love of a father letting go.  It is the love of a
Father, letting go of His Son on Gulgolta (Calvary).
 It’s a love that gives up and lets go.  It’s a
perfect, unconditional, sacrificial Love. True love is an
offering, to give without seeking anything back.   Love
somebody today with unconditional love, expecting nothing.
 Bless someone today, with total, selfless love.  For
this is the First Love.  This is Messiah, our
salvation and our faith.<br>~1 KEFA (Peter) 1:22 "Now that
you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth, so
that you have a sincere love for your brothers, love
each other deeply, with all your heart."<br>~TODAY'S
MISSION: Seek an opportunity to show selfless love for
another.  Seek a needy neighbor, or wounded child and give
of your time to provide them with something they
need.<br>~Jonathan Cahn and his ministry, Hope of the World~

Hello, Nice to meet you.<br><br>Have a great day! :-)<br><br>Teri

Hi to all from you <br><br>That is great that you
are netwroking . and chating yes we will have a
meeeting I will put it on the calendar it will be soon . I
am working now right but when I have a day off we
will have a meeeting . <br><br>From the fouder of this
club Brandon

Only to say now, that I hope more people to be
introduced here.<br>But moreover, we should use this club to
relate our experiences about Pay it
forward.<br>Although, in my opinion, the most important would be to
post here new ideas to mend and improve our
world.<br><br>Peace out!<br>Agustin

Hi everybody!<br><br>I would like to introduce me
here, and to salute to all the people here, specially
to some members I meet. And it would be great if all
the members who haven’t done this yet, do it now,
please. This gives us the occasion to meet each others
here, and to begin a good ambient with
confidence.<br>Really, the finality of these clubs is not to meet people
and to make friends, although I think this is one of
the needful things. After, if there is trustfulness
in the club, we can work better.<br><br>My name is
Agustin, I live in Spain, you’ll see my English is
horrible, although I’ll try to explain my ideas as good as
I can. I’m a medical student, and I’m 21... This is
my e-mail: king_naif@... I’m in disposition
of everybody, if anybody want to e-mail me for
friendship, or for any question... don’t doubt
it.<br><br>Finally, I would like to salute to the members I meet
here:<br>- Catherine: the author of the good book, and the
creator of this great idea<br>- Brandon: the founder of
the club<br>- Angel and Jaime: my Spanish pals<br>-
Mandy: what can I say...? you rock! lol<br>- Nigel: my
old fellow:)<br>- Sassan: it’s very nice to see you

Hi Brandon,<br><br>Have you connected the
Foundation to this club? That way people can learn more
about the Pay It Forward Movement. I will help bring in
members, but you need to add links. Let me know what else
I can do to help you and I will see what I can do.
Just an after thought, put Favors Unlimited in as a
link. It is also a good site.

WHAT IS THE PAY IT FORWARD
FOUNDATION?<br><br>Working with Trevor's plan, the Pay It Forward Foundation
has been established to educate and inspire young
students to realize that they can change the world, and
provide them with opportunities to do so--by bringing the
author's vision and related educational materials into
classrooms across the country, where students and their
teachers will be encouraged to formulate their own ideas
of how they can pay it forward. <br><br>The
Foundation comes into existence at a time when many people,
though aware of the need for social change, are unsure
of where and how to begin. The challenges facing the
majority of today's youth are daunting. While discussion
and planning are positive steps toward belief in
social change, only the manifestation of plans into
action proves to the imagination that change is
possible, that will and motivation can affect social
growth. The Pay It Forward Foundation understands that
good ideas inspire good ideas, and serves both as a
forum for inspiration and a source of funding for the
development of inspired ideas.<br><br>Students will have the
opportunity to identify what they consider to be the
challenges of their communities. They might tackle such
problems as homelessness, pollution, youth violence,
literacy issues, the loneliness experienced by long-term
hospital and nursing home patients, and the alienation of
today's at-risk youth from the community. The Pay It
Forward Foundation will provide seed money for such
worthwhile projects. <br><br>Charitable pilot programs and
local and national academic projects are already being
developed, as are plans to bring Pay It Forward education
and action programs into middle schools and juvenile
detention facilities--with the intention of encouraging and
empowering all youth to believe in themselves and their
individual and collective abilities to shape the future.

Hello, Looks like a good club so far! I wish you well with it. :-)
