Give And It Shall Given To You

Upon returning from college class tonight, I arrived late and was very tired; however, I was most welcomed by my darling wife, Rhonda who welcomed me home. Wow! It's so nice to be home. Upon entering our townhome, I noticed two beautiful Lighthouse Christmas ornaments. I immediately asked, "Whose are these?" Rhonda said, their yours honey! Mine! Yes, yours. Oh, wow, their beautiful! Who gave them to me, I questioned? She said, my neighbor Donnie had given them to me. You see, last night after our Life Group meeting, we came home with the box of chocolates that I didn't feel I needed (weight wise), and in turn gave them to my neighbor who was admiring our Christmas tree. You see, as the scripture states in St. Luke 6:38, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." By giving the candy away, this provided a method for Donnie to give from his heart. Thank you so much Donnie for sharing with us. You really made my day! If we as Christians can allow God's spirit to reach to us in a manner to be used by God, there is no telling how far God will be able to use us in the manner He so desires.
