Good Morning, God
Lord, the listing of organizations that are not-for-profit or that just try to help others is endless. We do have an organization for almost any need that faces us. To help, we can donate food, clothing, automobiles, time, money, prayers - almost anything and everything we have can be used to provide almost anything and everything someone else needs.
What is often hard to come by, though, Lord, is the spirit of giving. We most often think of providing for ourselves, then our children, then our grandchildren, before we think of providing for others. Then, usually, what gets provided - especially in the clothing line - are items that are years old, items that don't fit, items that are out of style. And, when we give monetarily, it may be a few coins into a red bucket after we hear bells ringing, or after we know how much is left over after we buy for ourselves. Here is an idea, Lord. What if everyone decided to give away to helping causes 10% of any and all income. Many would be helped and we'd experience that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
In Jesus name, Amen
