Today’s Thought “Every Praise” G. Ward 2 Corinthians 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. My attitude for each day presented won’t awaken to thoughts of thank You Lord for another day above ground; particularly upon yesterday’s mediocrity (cf. Matt.28:19) that had a few in my presence needing the Gift that keeps giving (John 12: 46) and failing to share (intentionally) His love for them and while I celebrate great benevolence from so many (at this time of year) unto those less fortunate, to then contemplate some of those same recipients may soon be without sufficient means after all the festivities breaks my heart. There is however an adoption process understood by every believer through Heaven’s generosity that found us, insisting we’d emulate the Savior’s example and whereas He embodied what “family” meant, we’re called to follow (*John 19:25-27). In view of such an unfathomable adoption afforded us, can we take another by the hand to ensure they know it’s our delight in their being our family, transcendent to this holiday season?
