The Blessing of Giving
November 8, 2013
It made no sense for a widow to donate her last few coins to a corrupt institution in Jerusalem, where scribes who were dependent on those gifts devour[ed] widows houses (Mark 12:40). But in that womans act, Jesus saw a moving display of the proper attitude toward money (vv.41-44).
Gordon Cosby, while serving as pastor of the Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC, tells of a widow whose income was barely adequate to feed and clothe her six children. Yet every week she faithfully placed $4 in the offering plate. A deacon suggested that Cosby go to her and assure her that she could use the money instead for her familys benefit.
Cosby followed the deacons adviceto his regret. You are trying to take away the last thing that gives me dignity and meaning, she said. She had learned a key to giving: It can benefit the giver more than the receiver. Yes, those in poverty need financial help. But the need to give may be as important as the need to receive.
The act of giving reminds us that we live by the grace of Godlike the birds and the flowers. Those creations dont worry about their future; neither should we. Giving offers us a way to express our confidence that God will care for us just as He cares for the sparrow and lily (Matt. 6:25-34).
Whatever, Lord, we lend to Thee,
Repaid a thousand-fold will be;
Then gladly will we give to Thee,
Who givest allwho givest all. Wordsworth
We disarm the power of money by giving it away.
Read: Mark 12:38-44

I'm So Thankful GG hid when he saw the Neighbor's Dog! Some Dogs are Friendly with Kittens, but Many are not.
I saw One of the Wild Toms Today that Come Through this Area. I Wish he was Tame, but he Runs like Greased Lightening if I Even Go Outside. :(
Last Night we had a Hideous Adventure; One of the Many Skunks that Live Nearby Firebombed the House, and that Chemical Attack was a Doosey, Lol.
I See them Often at Night, Walking Along the Left Side House, but they Hardly Ever Spray at that Time.
But Last Night One of them Cut Loose, and, Oh, what a Smell!
A Cute Raccoon had Passed by just a Few Minutes before that; maybe the Skunkie Sprayed at him, Lol.
