…we can’t even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns . But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. 1 John 3:2 NLT
Although it is only mid-February, as I look out my window I see several Robin Red-breast.
It won’t be too long and the purple martin’s will glide in and check out the house. Continue reading

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Cor 9:7 Continue reading

What do you do with a gift?
Naturally you should enjoy it but should you be selfish and stingy with it?
You can take something and use it to make yourself and someone else happy.
If you get $20 for your birthday why not treat some friends to pizza.
Of course some gifts are personable and private but many others could be shared.
What about a gift from God?
What should you do with it?
Be selfish and stingy or share it with others.
The answer is found in God’s word, as each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10
It would seem that a gift is not our own but for the enjoyment of others.
