So today is Sunday and we are six days and counting... yes we are counting. With the chance that some of you will not be able to be in Sunday School with us today, I decided that I should keep you in the loop and send out my daily email anyway. Sunday is going to be the day of giving. I know that Christmas day is usually the big day for giving, but this year Christmas is not a day it is a season. As we prepare ourselves for the one day, we decided that we should prepare our hearts and our minds by being generous in our giving. Giving... although it usually begins and ends with material stuff and the giving of things, hopefully this year we can give a little more. Today think about giving. We are going to discuss this in Sunday school. I don't have all the answers so I hope the group will provide them at some point. Here are some of the key topics we'll be discussing.
~Giving to God
~Giving Knowledge
~Giving Gifts like Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh.
~Giving Gifts like Peace, Forgiveness, Discipline...
~Giving Time
~Giving Money
~Giving Service
~Giving Tithes & Offerings (different from Money)
~Giving Yourself
~Giving Thanks
~ The opposite of giving (taking... or greed)
Proverbs 11:24
One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Proverbs 15: 27
The greedy bring ruin to their households...
