Time to give

I really wonder why people wait for Christmas time to be generous. We must all realize that giving should be the way of living not something "wrapped" into a particular season.

I believe that much as a church should teach about giving to the church, it should also exemplify giving because a giving church is a blessed and happy church. Like Ben Carson says: "Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give."

So as this "season of giving" comes, I encourage you to come up with ways to inspire generosity and increase giving outside the church. If you take the time to look around, you'll see that needs abound; may our seeds abound much more.

Wishing you and yours a memorable Christmas - especially as you make it memorable for others... God bless!
