Monday's Prayer

Lord, help us to be extremely generous! Help us to have open hands, marked by abundance that exceed the ordinary!

God is so giving and generous to us. Take a moment and think about all that He has done for you: salvation, peace, provision. Romans 8:32 states "He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all---how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"

So, are you asking "where are all the things I need?" I can easily get caught in that mindset myself, but I want to challenge to you take a different look/perspective. Luke 6:38 says "Give, and it will be given to you...For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

It just might be possible that we must give of the blessings we have in our hands now to have abundant blessings flow into our lives. So, what do you have in your hands now? It may not be money at all---it could be knowledge or a talent. Find a way to use your blessings for others!

In our group, we like to help one another, and I am going to change that name to "Helps Ministry". Check out the forum (must be logged in) for ways that you can be a blessing in and to our group.
- Buy enough to make an extra meal when you are at the grocery store, and use it for others or be blessed by having something extra ready for your family!
- Clean out your house and give those unused items away or sell them---you can even use our forum to help other homeschool families (put it under For Sale or FREE).
- And, one of my favorite things to do is buy the free rebate items offered and give those away!

I challenge you to search for opportunities to give, and I want to hear how you are blessed overwhelmingly in return!

"A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:24-25
