rest.....

we are going to continue to work to be a family that gives and looks for opportunties to bless others in small ways but with the exception of something we feel is just a WOW moment we will probably not post much here....we'll see....do not want it to be a situation where we feel like we have to post but follow Him as the He leads each of us to share...

bless others...

used a couple of lincoln's to bless a teacher at school who had some thieves come up to her in a parking garage that took her purse then a few days later knowing the information included burglarized the residence....taking up funds to help and this giver was able to be a blessing...

Toys for Tots...

going into Wal-Mart two service men were outside collecting for Toys for Tots...one of the givers went inside and used the lincoln to pick up a toy to drop in the collection box....thanks to our men and women that serve our country for all they do and thanks for blessing a child with a new toy this holiday season...

err on the side of generosity...

do we have to think about blessing others? we have been a little lax here in giving and posting how we are blessing others....I need to be more intentional and let my family know what I am doing...seat an example and encourage them to use those lincoln's...if we have to think about it, we should probably do it...when we stop to consider what we need to do we should be more generous...if there is an error in our ways let it be that we were more generous without thought that we wish we would of done more because we did....be a blessing....

err on the side of generosity is copied from the swerve.lifechurch.tv blog this week...one of the points made in the post about 40 things I wish someone had told me when I was 20...

hair it is.....

one of our great kids used a couple of lincolns to help a young lady get her hair done...she had a need and they felt they could help....thank you for being thoughtful and offering to be a blessing....

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.
