The ones who share peace through their thoughts are truly great donors
I'm not sure that I entirely understand what this is trying to say. It's fairly clear that it's trying to say that spreading peace is a good thing. It seems to be implicitly suggesting that this is at least as good as giving large sums of money to a good cause. It may even be trying to draw a comparison to blood donation and organ donation; I don't know. Jesus esteemed the establishment of peace quite highly, too. He says this:
God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God.—Matthew 5:9
What really puzzles me about today's saying is "through their thoughts". I just don't know what it's intended to mean. Again from the Bible, this time from James:
Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?—James 2:15–16
Do any of you have any better idea what today's saying might mean? If so, leave a comment, so everyone can read it.

Hey Tim,
I what an interesting idea for a blog! I like what you've written , it's cool.
I just got back from holiday and read the whole lot.
The giving through your thoughts one; I wonder if praying is one way of giving through your thoughts? I find that if we think of people and pray for them, then often we find a better way to give something of value to them than if we just gave thoughtlessly. And prayer doesn't tend to happen unless we actually care about the person we are praying for, so it is of high value.
Hey, I'm gonna write you an e-mail. I'm told you generally don't e-mail any more, you chat instead, but can you stick with e-mail for your sister for the time being, until I get going with the chatting?
I'll send you some pics.
Ruth :)
What about sharing peace through your thoughts by publishing or simply talking about thoughts you have on the best way to achieve (inner?) peace?
