Our Gater Pal Program

 

The Gater Pal Program is a wonderful way to show a Gateway Family Member that someone is thinking about them.  The love of Christ prompts us to show our love for others.  In thankfulness for His love, we share what we have with others without thought of reward and sometimes without receiving a word of thanks.

 

This fun program is a great way to practice "RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS (RAK)  Taking the time to care makes your gater pal feel special.   It is our goal to make each other smile.

 

We have 4 quarters:    Jan thru March, April thru June, July thru Sept  and  Oct thru Dec.   You can sign up for one quarter OR  for all 4 quarters.   You will get a different pal each quarter!

 

We ask that you send at least one card or small gift  once each month to your pal.   And, in return,  baring any  unforeseen issues  another Gater Pal will be sending you something to brighten your day at least once each month!

 

Its the little things - a new mini item sent from a secret pogo account,   a card, a hand made or home baked goody, a special something that made you think of your pal  that shows someone was thinking of you that will make your pal feel cared about!

 

 

 

Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.

All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten,
will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.

It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.

The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived,
at the end. It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought,
but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success, but your significance.

What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage
or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged
others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.

What will matter is not how many people you knew,
but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.

What will matter is not your memories,
but the memories that live in those who loved you.

What will matter is how long you will be remembered,
by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

Choose to live a life that matters.
