Generosity

“Remember this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

 I am grateful for the talents the Lord has bestowed on me. The best way to show gratitude is to use them for His glory. One of my talents is being able to recover chairs and couches, I see simply and know how to attack the task. My friend with whom I am staying has dining chairs 40 odd years old that are now uncomfortable and ugly to look at. I offered to recover them. I also suggested she buy new curtains as the ones she has are very old and almost ready to disintegrate. We went shopping and found material that would look great on her chairs and also curtains to match. I know how much fresh life will come into the place when they are done. I am quietly excited.

It is not enough to have gifts, we must use them to bless others. Tied up in the gifts is the breath of God for that person we choose to bless.
