30 Days to Give Thanks: Day Five

I’m thankful for the generosity of others.

Karen DeBeus is donating 50% of her book sales this week to the Red Cross to help with Hurricane Sandy victims. Karen’s husband recently lost his job.

Katie Davis is living out a life of service in Uganda – she moved there when she was just 19, has adopted 15 girls, and plans on staying permanently.

A missionary named Michael Mayo recently preached at our church. He was visiting from Thailand, where he and his family moved several years ago.

These people show Jesus to others. They are not giving out of excess – they are giving of themselves.

“Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.’” Luke 9:23

I’m thankful for the generosity of others and for the examples they set. I want to help in being the hands, the feet, and the mouth of Jesus.

I want to use the unique talents that God has given me to really reach out. I do not need to serve exactly how anyone else serves but I want to give generously, not out of my excess – of my self.
