Quick! Name three things you’re thankful for.....

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day, and most of us will pause and give thanks for our blessings. But what about the other 364 days of the year? Try this: every morning say, out loud, three things you’re thankful for. I mean it. Even if you’re having a really rough time in your life. If you think about it, there are always things to be grateful for. Your husband. Your wife. Your children. Your health. Your faith. The roof over your head. The dollar in your pocket. Get in the habit of giving thanks... not just on Thanksgiving... but every day.

is blessback contagious?

was reading this morning about the many blessings an individual had received and he spoke of contagious generosity!...he had received much but it prompted him to give and to want to give more...what an awesome thought!...contagious generosity!...when we give do we want to offer greater blessings?...more blessings?...creative blessings?...does it prompt those we are able to bless to have a desire to give and bless others?...lets blessback even more...is it contagious!...did you catch it?...did the one who is blessed catch it?...is it contagious?...I hope so...contagious generiosity!...let's all catch it and keep on blessing back then believing it will pay forward...

be generous because......

1. Your heavenly Father is generous
2. It's more blessed to give than receive
3. You could be the answer to somebody's prayer
4. God will bless you
5. It's the biblical thing to do
6. It advances the Kingdom of God
7. It provides for those who are less fortunate
8. It destroys greed and materialism

thanks for moving me......

gave away a couple of lincolns to two separate shuttle bus drivers at the airport.....it is important to tip well (I am not saying overdo it or give everything away)....but especially when we go to eat at restaurant, be a good tipper.....Jesus would....it probably isn't the servers fault if your food wasn't right and if the service isn't what you expected, maybe your server is doing the best he can with the gifts he has been given......be generous!.....show love!.....be a blessing!.....smile!.... say thank you!..... show honor and repect to those you come in contact with.....

printer paper...what!....

our OU daughter is buying a package of printer paper and leaving it in the computer room at her apartment for others to use.....thoughtful and giving....you are a blessing!.....

brownies....yum.....

Rachel picked up some brownies and a big Dr Pepper at the store...went home and made them for a friend who wasn't having the best week......

lunch for a friend.....

Seth used his lincoln and bought lunch for a friend that did not have any money at the time......

offering.....

Kramer dropped his in the plate at Woodlake Assembly yesterday.....I am reminded of the story as the offering plate is passed of the little boy who stepped into the offering plate and was asked why, he said, "that is all I have to give"....Jesus probably clearly said, "young man, that is what I want"....it is pretty easy to give money but truly giving of ourselves, wow!...that is a different story....hopefully that is where we are all headed in our little project here in that we will be willing to give more and more but in reality be willing to give all of ourselves...what does that mean?....being like Jesus in all we do...remember real ministry can be messy and that is where Jesus was....am I willing?....thank you Kramer for reminding me of this.....

donut blesser...

another blesser picked up a dozen donuts took them to work...dropped them on the table and they were enjoyed.....

Seth gave away his Lincoln to a gentleman that he saw on the street that he felt led to bless....awesome!
