The Generosity Experiment: Day 19
Finding out what happens you look for opportunities to give. To start from Day 1, click here.
My pockets feel empty. I think my Christmas shopping is complete and so is my financial giving.
But I still see need. . .
a young mom using food stamps in the grocery aisle.
a long haired veteran holding a cardboard sign.
an elderly person waiting for family that never visits.
an ambulance rushing someone to help.
a newsflash of more troops deployed, right before the sacred day.
a line of semis at a truckstop, knowing that they won’t be home for Christmas.
So, I say a little prayer. . .
Will you stop and pray for those you see in need today?

It really is so easy to overlook that opportunity of giving just a little more this time of year. When one thinks of how the rest of the world lives, giving up the cost of a cup of hot chocolate or coffee can buy someone a gallon of milk or a some sort of grocery item. I can remember needing just a few dollars to buy laundry detergent but I have to use dish soap instead. Don’t get me wrong because I really was glad to have any soap at all! It is important not to think that a dollar or two won;t really make a difference. Sometimes it makes all the difference in the world!
Pray for Trisha today. She lost her baby boy Trent-he was 20 weeks in utero. She has had
a really tough time this week and really depressed. Please lift her up to the Lord. She also is employed at our preschool.
Her family is going through a very tough family crisis right now as well. Pray for her Dad especially on Tuesday.
