When you carve the Thanksgiving turkey, give the first piece to the person who prepared it. -- From Life's Little Instruction Book
2 Kings 4:13 (NIV) Elisha said to him, "Tell her, 'You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?'" She replied, "I have a home among my own people."
