So That None Are Needy

As I looked through our pantry, I knew we had too much. I boxed up some extra food and took it to church. After Sunday School, I offered it to Mark and Barb. “Thank you!” Barb exclaimed. “We can really use this!” I already knew Mark was working extra hours because their housing costs skyrocketed this past year. They were counting pennies to meet their expenses and the gift of food was a blessing to them. God encourages us to excel in giving and to do it out of love (See 2 Corinthians 8: 7 – 15) We also see … Continue reading So That None Are Needy
