Jesus said, that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
It is one thing to know that, it is another to experience it. I have experienced it this Christmas season. As I mention in a message during our series, “Have your self a ____________ little Christmas, that the Mason side of the family decided not to exchange gifts this year, but that each one would pick a specific ministry for each person to contribute to.
Well—I choose to participate in GO 09. Here at Newpointe we have a list of around 200 people. It is filled with Widows , single parent homes etc…..
I chose a widow. Well I called her and introduced myself to her and told her the purpose of my call. That our family wanted to bless her this Christmas and wanted to be able to stop by and introduce ourselves and bring some gifts. I asked her what she would enjoy receiving .
She was so taken back with emotions she could hardly talk. I said would you like for me to call back and she said yes.
I can’t tell you the feeling I experienced. Only that I now not only know the truth Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than received ”. I have experienced it.
Try it this Christmas. It will change your life.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress ….. . James 1:27
