A Diabetic’s Birthday Gift (http://www.diabeticlive.com/articles/518/1/A-Diabetics-Birthday-Gift/Page1.html)
In a slight twist on an old story one young man is providing an example to others that giving means more than getting. The beneficiaries of his idea are diabetics and his ability to give rests on the celebration of his birthday.
There is an old story that tells of a young boy who had never experienced the idea of receiving gifts on his birthday. The idea was foreign to him. During wartime his family took in boarders and when one guest learned that it was the boys birthday he offered him a handful of coins. The boy had no idea why the man would give him money. The man simply said, “These are for gifts.”
