Make a difference to one child with just $38/month - we buy jeans or books or concert tickets or a really nice dinner out with that much, and that feeds, clothes, shelters, & schools them for a whole month!
God has really placed giving on my heart as of late. Truly, we are just stewards of the money & resources God has put in our hands; none of it belongs to us. We "earn" it, but He gives us life & breath each day, the ability to earn it, and the opportunities & circumstances to work. How selfish of us to keep 100% of our earnings and not share with those starving and in need?
I now have a child in Kenya with Compassion and a child in Brazil with http://www.worldvision.org/ - my dream is to eventually sponsor a child on each continent. I tell you this not to brag, but to inspire you to make a difference, too. I read about a church that gives away 50% of its budget because they are taking Jesus' command to "Love your neighbor as yourself" seriously; I really hope & aspire to do that someday.
Hey Cindy! Did you leave your other blog to start this one or do you have two? Man, I love what you wrote here because I feel like I am always thinking the same thing about stewardship and finances and things like that. They don't belong to us and if we get that through our minds it changes EVERYTHING. I am reading a book called Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger. I really really think you should read it. And then we should talk about it and discuss it together!!
ReplyDeletethis is my only blog - I just changed the look; I also sometimes post facebook notes, but want this to be more world focused :)
ReplyDeletewho wrote the book? I will look it up!
