           “God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”  
                               2 Corinthians 9:7

 

Last week I received an email from one of our church family offering to make a meal for the small group that I lead on Wednesday evenings.   I told her that the group is sometimes only one other person and I, but that didn’t deter her.  She knew how much I struggle with figuring out how to get a meal ready so she offered.   In the subject line of her email she had written, “I like giving”.   Really cool.     Simple, yet so helpful and so appreciated by the two of us who ate her meal!  

I’m hoping that each of you purchase and read the above the book which is available in the lobby Sunday mornings and during the week.   It’s really very simple, very profound and very motivating all at the same time.   Remember that when you buy a book $3 of the $15 will go towards the Give Bikes Challenge.  

With the money collected by July 27th (via book purchase or donations) we’ll purchase bikes and then in the August 3 we’ll randomly select “givers” who will be given the gift of being able to give the bikes to someone who needs one!   The challenge is simply to find the need, present the bike and enjoy your moment of simple giving, no strings attached.   Can’t wait to see who among you get to be the “givers”!  
       
 
“Heavenly Father, propel me to live to give to bless others. Amen”
