CUPPA GENEROSITY

Generosi-TEA! Let's start our last day in 2021 with that cuppa!
As we turn the corner to a New Year, lets turn from getting to giving!
Robert Morgan would punctuate the above sentence with a divine exclamation point! (All to Jesus, Day 365) 
Where do you find yourself? 
I have to give. GRUDGINGLY
I Need to give. UNDER EXTERNAL COMPULSION
I want to give. CHEERFUL, EAGER & READY TO GIVE

How is your spending trending?
A year in Paul David Tripp's, New Morning Mercies has kept me focused on More of Thee and less of me......aka give to others more than to self. "Give us the grace to look at ourselves in the mirror of God's word. Powerful redeeming grace to remove of our heart of stone and replace them with hears of flesh"----giving hearts. (New Morning Mercies, December 10)
TAKEAWAYS:
Give self first to God.
Generous Giving is rooted in the grace of God.
Generosity is about Spirit, not resources.

Donate to your church or favorite charity. Give your time to pray for others.
Keep sipping your cuppa generosity-TEA throughout the coming year!
