Michèle Phoenix, my fellow MAC cancer sister, never "bypasses" a RED bucket. She always puts something in! I learned that last year when I met up with her in the "windy city." There are lots of RED buckets in Chicago. As a single gal starting up a new stateside ministry, after years on foreign soil, I'm sure her pockets aren't the deepest. Possibly not giving out of her abundance but out of her need. What an example!
You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land. (Deuteronomy 15:11)
This year I plan to follow suit. Won't you join me?
Let's allow the Salvation Army RED Bucket to beckon us all.
