You get what you give (and sometimes more)

The other day I caught up with a friend who I hadn't seen in quite a while and so we got to chat. Anyhow he was going to buy some food from the food vending machine but he was short 20 cents. So I gave it to him because 20 cents ain't much and it was for his wife and so I didn't think any further of it.

Today I was walking past the same machine and there was 20 cents left in the change slot! What I gave, I didn't expect to get back. Maybe we should be more generous to others and if we get some of it back, then that is a bonus?

Why worry?

Reading Matthew 6:25-34

Are you worried about something or many things? I know that I get a bit worried when assignments are due and you have to get them in and you still have lots to do. We shouldn't worry because God in full control of it. I am sure that if we had a worry (or a concern) and committed it to God, then we would have a peace about it that it will be alright.

"Worry is a burden that God never meant for us to bear"

"When you give yourself to God, all other giving becomes natural"


Proverbs 19:17 - "He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done."
