So many times I have watched my wife give spiritually. I have no doubt you try to give as much of yourself to your families and to God. Well, let me give this shared message just for you and to thank my sister-in-law, Rena. She thought she was only bringing my wife to get her hair done and to get some lunch but, Rena paid for everything and then some. It wasn’t just the money but it was the fact that you gave my wife an outing. A day she so needed, because she spends so many of them within the walls of our home, teaching our kids. Rena & Joe, you not only blessed my wife but you blessed our family as well. For this, I am grateful.
“A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed” (Proverbs 11:25, NIV)
So let me pose this question to you. Do you need refreshing? So many of us go through our lives overwhelmed, torn down, tired, and barely getting by. But that is not God’s best. He wants you to prosper. He wants you to be refreshed. So, be generous to others and refresh them. Maybe this person is someone in your office or your family. Are they going through a tough time? Can you help them? Can you simply give them a smile, a hug, or a kind word? Whatever you do, do not wait until you feel like it, that day may not come. Do it because His word says to. Do it because it blesses our Lord!
Our Lord in Heaven, thank You for Your grace and mercy. Thank You for blessing us so we can be a blessing to others. Teach us Heavenly Father to be generous and kind. Show us how we can refresh others and bring glory to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Jerry
