       Stress-Free: Heal Yourself with Generosity

       Acts 20:35 I have showed you all things, how that so laboring
       you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the
       Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to
       receive.

       From preventing cancer and heart disease to building
       self-esteem, overwhelming evidence proves generosity is good for
       your mental and physical health. Dr. Michael McKee, a
       psychologist at Cleveland Clinic, develops ways to enhance the
       inner healing response of patients.
       "There are tremendous health benefits to giving," he said. "We
       know that the giving tends to reduce blood pressure, slow heart
       rate," McKee said. "Again, giving reduces stress. It reduces
       depression.
       ..."So, people who feel powerless or worthless find a new
       purpose and value by seeing their actions help others, and they
       tend to live longer and healthier lives.

       Purpose Finds 95-Yr-Old Woman Who Prayed to Die
       Friday, December 26, 2014
       Not long ago, Mrs. Vitolo didn't care whether she lived or died.
       After a bad fall, she had to leave her New Jersey home and move
       in with her daughter in Virginia.
       Before long, depression set in.
       "I would pray, 'Jesus, call me home.' But my daughter says, 'No,
       He don't want you yet,'" she said.
       Mrs. Vitolo's daughter, Anne Farrell, was worried for her
       mother. So she prayed a simple prayer for purpose.
       "I'm putting it all in Your hands and I'm trusting You that
       you're gonna make a way for her, to have, you know, to find her
       purpose here," she recalled praying.
       ....And He did. Anne saw an ad on a bulletin board that
       volunteers were needed to make items for orphans in India.
       Mrs. Vitolo found her purpose: She has made 12 blankets so far,
       and counting. ..."What that lady is doing, it's amazing because
       something that is giving her life, is also breathing in life and
       nurture to a child in another country,"....
