Good Morning,
The theme for today is the importance of doing good works using the gifts of comfort and talent that the Lord has given you. He planned those in advance and had a plan for us about how we should use our blessings. Carol wrote, "His grace abounds to His church, us, so we can meet others needs and then share the grace of His gospel message with them. First we must do the works of God, and then we can share His message to those who will be ready to listen."
Time for us to start sharing the wonders we have through the blessings received from God.
Have a wonderful weekend!

"ABOUND IN GOOD WORKS"
Written by

"And God is able
to make all grace abound to you,
so that in all things at all times, having all
that you need, you will
abound in every good
work."
II Corinthians 9:8
The first thing a Christian has to realize before being able to go out into the community is to
give to others is how richly. God blesses each of
us. When I was a child I remember being told to eat everything on my
plate because other children in the world were going
hungry. If you were like me, I would gladly have give them some of my
vegetables. Starving children across the
world didn't mean much then. Now, as an adult, I am amazed how richly God
has blessed my life.
I can never out give
Him, no matter what I do for others. I have all of my needs met plus
much, much more. I suspect most of us can say the
same, no matter what our current situation is. God does want us to go out
and share our time, talents, and treasures
with our neighbors and people around the world. God gives to us so that
we can give to others and be a blessing to
them. His grace abounds to His church, us, so we can meet others needs
and then share the grace of His gospel message with
them. First we must do the works of God, and then we can share His
message to those who will be ready to listen.
