Lets it Not Be a Once A Year Thing!

When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. -- Deuteronomy 24:19

This is clearly a passage old Scrooge hadn't seen! God has always set aside a provision for the poor. In this time of the year when many people world over take special time to look after those who are less fortunate, let's open hearts and schedule this week to dedicate time for special generosity to go with a heart committed to be generous all the time. Lets it not let generosity and concern for those less fortunate be a once a year thing!


[ Prayer for the Day ]

For all of your wonderful gifts of kindness and grace, I thank You, dear Father and God. Please stir my heart to care for others as You do. Please help me keep that spirit of concern alive all year long and not just around Christmas time. In Jesus' Name I ask this. Amen.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
