I think this is probably a scripture that most of us are familiar with. And I think that in large part, the scripture is probably referring to giving monetarily to the poor when you are able, but for today's Faith Based Friday post, I thought maybe we'd look at this scripture in another way. God expects us to help the poor monetarily, if we can, but what if you can't afford to give money? Or what if you are already giving money and you want to help in some other way? Or, what if it's not MONEY that someone needs? What if their "need" is love or support or encouragement? I think God also expects us to share our time and our talent with others ... and really this can be a way of "giving" as well.
Before I expand on that, this here is the card that I prepared for today's Faith Based Friday post:
I love that sentiment from the "Trust God" stamp set. So I was thinking about giving and I decided to issue a challenge. I am challenging everyone who reads this post to do one Random Act of Kindness for someone else this week. It doesn't have to cost anything ... it could be something as simple as calling someone to let them know you are thinking about them and praying for them. Wouldn't our world be a better place if EVERYONE was more consistent in doing things like that?
Well ... that's it for today. As always, I thank you for stopping in and checking out my projects and reading some of my thoughts. I hope my Faith Based Fridays posts bless you in some way.
Until next time ... Wishing you many creative adventures and a very Blessed day!
Kim
