Be a generous giver.



2 Corinthians 9: 6-8
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will
also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously
will also reap generously.
Each of you should give what you have
decided in your heart to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to bless you abundantly,
so that in all things at all time,
having all that you need,
you will abound in every good work.”

It is Christmas time and we really should open our hearts to people in need.  You know the guy begging on the side of the road.  The elderly sitting all alone in their little rooms. Let us extend a generous hand towards the needy.

We are God’s stewards, our money has been entrusted to us to use wisely, we have the ability to spend all the cash we earn all of ourselves.  How about spending some money on a meal for someone in need this Christmas.

Give lovingly and without a grudge.  God said that He will bless you abundantly.  Tithings are also part of our praise and worship to the LORD.  The extra you give will come back to you.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, as we spend this time with our family and friends we also want to give to the poor and needy.  Open our eyes and help us to be generous with a happy heart.  Let us give without being grudging.  In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
