Today’s Thought “Scantily Clad” G.Ward

“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35

Most with school age children are greatly impacted by the many expenditures of back to school; it does however take on an entirely arduous process for the single parent. Summer expenses (utility, food and entertainment) were extreme enough, to now recapitulate the monetary depletion of before. What could be if believers like me (empty-nesters) would intentionally discover an adult less fortunate to aid with their back to school endeavor? Unfortunately, the art of care exercises more in partiality than merciful hospitality. The receipt in generosity must transcend “me and mine” reaching beyond biological parameter to attack proposed inevitability of what heaven offers; “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands” (Rev.7:9).

Happy Monday!
