Be a Cheerful Giver

November 23

“She is desperate,” the secretary said, “I thought you might be willing to help. She can rent a car and get to the hospital and back for fifty dollars.” Joy drops the money off at the church office. The next day while rummaging through a desk. Joy found $65 she had put away for something she has forgotten about. (Hmmm). She learns the lady received a ride to the hospital but spent $23 on gas and tolls. She returned the $27 to the church office.

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Yes, God loves a Cheerful Giver! You may want to visit the Cheerful Givers charity (www.cheerfulgivers.org) to learn how you can help by providing a toy-filled birthday gift bag for a child living in poverty on their birthday.
