31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 21: "Give"


"Peony" Crochet quilt.
Donation item to Jacksonville Senior Center 2015


II Corinthians 9:7 (AMPC) - Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving].

 

It's 65 days until Christmas and I don't have a clue.  I have no idea what I'm going to give anyone.

My new church has so many wonderful outreach ministries that I don't where to give first.

I can't wait to be settled in my own place so I can get out my sewing machine and make gifts for the local Pro-Life Crisis Pregnancy Center.

Before I left Alabama, I'd attempted to give blood twice.  Once, my iron was too low.  The other attempt failed because apparently I hadn't had enough water and the techs weren't confident they could tap the vein they needed.  Thank you, Life South Community Blood Center, for not going ahead with it and poking me purple like the Red Cross.  I'm hoping to find a local blood donation center here.  I'm never donating blood, or more accurately bruised arms and cuss words, to the Red Cross again.  Maybe there will be a space to tell the story of why later.

Anyway.

I'm ready, as Dave Ramsey says, to "live like no one else, so I can give like no one else."
