2 Corinthians 9:7 ~ God loves a cheerful giver




The Full Movie!!!


The Song!!! Sing, Sing, Sing!

The World's Best Sled Dog is black & white and, yet, is not Springer Spaniel - Merit - was and is our's. Merit even survived (for a time) cancer.
a


The Video proves Albert Einstein is wrong. His definition of insanity for repetition does not apply: 1. People going to work every day 2. Does not apply to Olympic Athletes and 3. Sledding dogs - who can turn the sled successfully.





2 Corinthians 9:7

God loves a cheerful giver


Do you see what I see?

Take each day and Plant Seeds.

Charles Dickens' "Christmas Carol" Builds a story exactly as we repeat our days to build a life.

We find Fred is Living Christmas and Christ Jesus. Fred invites, and hopefully expects, Uncle Ebeneezer will someday want to attend family Christmas.

We see in 1843, the mid Victorian era, Groups were seeking a donation at Christmas to provide food and heating for the poor.

Mr Fezziwig was a generous employer and treated his people as family.

We find wealth is not the Joy of Christmas. Reading of a joyous market with people buying the makings of Christmas dinner and celebrations of Christmas in a miner's cottage and in a lighthouse. Bob Cratchit's family has a feast and gratitude to have this time. Bob Cratchit's youngest son, Tiny Tim, a happy boy who is seriously ill. Health is not even a impediment to Christmas Joy.




Do you see what I see?

The Joy of Christmas is not just our giving - the Joy of Christmas is to see what other's show us. To see Jesus Christ in Christmas.



My introduction to the world of tipping - shaking the Boat Captain's hand in Quebec. At the age of 12, I had no idea this was an open tip hand. My parents laughed so hard they almost rolled down the gangplank.


All things work together for Good for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose. My younger brother, John, is frankly known to be very generous in tipping. If he has enjoyed riding the tour/fishing boat around the bay of Padre Island, Texas - John will tip the Captain the price of the ticket. John is good to travel with. He is quite kind to those he tips and delights like a child in their joy to have a very generous tip. Usually this is accompanied with a valid compliment and sincerity. John delights to be generous.

I was thinking of John today after I passed the Salvation Army's Great Cheerful Ringing Bell - where I rarely have cash. And the relief to go into Randall's Grocery Store - where they ask to put the donation on the debit card for the Groceries. Instantly, the day is better!!!


John does something else - he follows a tradition my Grandmother Bit had. She was given Christmas money every Christmas from her Munner and Pop to give gifts. Their gift giving was honed out as children with instructions to be full in curiosity and generosity about the gift receiver's needs. "Adults, generally, do not wish for a cap gun, nor a doll."

John gives his children, with planning, a dollar each every time he knows the Salvation Army is near ringing the bell. Eventually, John is going to have a large wad of cash - planned out - for the children and John to delight the Salvation Army. This is something wonderful,  delighting them to the nano cells and back again. And is a definite Christmas Tradition.

The Salvation Army is a Christian Church. Employing men and women to learn to fix items given to donation and make them new. Training and fellowship within Charitable Giving. Worthy.






My neighbor and her husband are Sunday School Teachers for the joy of raising two kiddos. Each year, their Sunday School Class is given a party at their house and about 40 Elementary age Children show up with their parents. The Neighborhood is delighted to find 40 Sunday Schoolers and Parents, with beaming faces, singing Christian Christmas Carols to the Neighborhood. This delights the entire street.



Not to mention - this couple then lights the front yard of neighbors, who are older. And they light up the cul de sac too. Our street, one year, had two cancer patients and the entire street offered to decorate for the two families.

These are marvelous Christian aspects of Christmas.



Do I like my singing neighbors?
You bet, this week they helped put away the teenage cache of 15 pounds of black cat fireworks I found hidden in my garage (safely under the insecticides) - from my teenagers' time. How? Distributed among the neighbor's available trash cans - who were out of town. We all get by with a little help from our friends. We all need help distributing gun powder after allowing the gunpowder to sit in the rain for two days.

Getting by with a little help from our friends.
Preventing - run - "Boom, Boom Out Go the Lights"







Edward and another driver both encountered something in the road and both cars had Bam, blown out tires. Edward was fortunate not to be the driver in the ditch.




Our son, Alexander, wins first place for helping his mom and dad with the tire, the spare tire with a nail, the sad lug wrench and the rolling tire jack while giving calm assistance for several days during a family Reunion, out of town, party. Discount Tires - who knew the Christmas crowd? Now, we do.

A huge thanks to Edward's Good Friend making our water heater produce warm water. A lovely thing - warm water and the fix from a friend.





2 Corinthians 9:6-7 

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, 
and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion
For God Loves a cheerful giver!!!






Abba,

God of Love.

God of Encouragement.

God of Hope.

Thank You to see Your Holy Spirit in those around us.

We pray this will be said of us:

"Always said of him - he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!”

Let it be said:
"He went to the church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and for, and patted the children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of homes, and up to the windows, and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed of any walk, that anything, could give him so much happiness."

We ask "God Bless us, everyone!!!"

Upon our Loved ones, all the way to the Nation Trusting God. All of God's Children for "More Heaven on earth!!!"


Amen in Jesus our Christ of God. Amen.




♔ Lord Jesus Saves!

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
