The Christmas Challenge

For me giving is something that come so natural to me, its like breathing, its just who I am.  I give when the Spirit prompts my heart, it is SO filling and satisfies my soul.  It's not for recognition or to be known, and sometimes it is SO small, but I am learning that God uses the small stuff in a BIG way.  He has such a way of reaching people through small simple acts of kindness or even just a kind word spoken.  There is no secret to kindness, giving, or to seeing the needs of others around you, it just takes a willing spirit that is seeking opportunity to be a part of something much BIGGER than you or me.  It just takes a heart that is ok with being a simple thread of love in the life of people around you, with the understanding that your thread of love is helping to weave an eternal tapestry of grace, mercy, forgiveness and healing to a broken world around us.  I like to call this confidence in the calling, knowing you will look back on your life and see those seeds that you planted and you will reap a harvest that was totally worth the tiny sacrifice, whatever that may be.  

So my challenge to you this Christmas season is to GIVE.  Your giving doesn't have to be big, but just seek out the needs of the world around you and be willing to invest in something that brings life and purpose to your soul.  It may be your time, your energy, a listening ear, or maybe paying for someone lunch or groceries.  It could even be going to wal-mart and paying off a total strangers layaway or seeking out that family in your child's class that needs a little help this Christmas season.  Whatever your calling is rise up and dig in.....The Best is Yet to Come.....
