Pay it forward, a family phrase we hear today. I would like to tell you my favorite. It is a tradition at the Rockville United Methodist Church. At Christmas time at the Christmas program or Christmas Eve service is to pass out treats sack of fruit and candy. There was this boy at the Rockville United Methodist Church a long time ago who waited each year knowing he would get an orange which was a treat he would never forget. The boy grew up to manhood went out in the world became successful. For many years until his death, he sent money for the Church to buy the biggest and best oranges for the Christmas treat sack.
