it is #givingTuesday

Last week was thanksgiving and ahead is Christmas. And today is called Giving Tuesday. Many organizations have a special request for giving and seeking resources to do the work they are called to.

I see a lot of through the work that so many do. It is the season of giving, during Christmas, as people are often ready to share and serve others. Be encouraged to serve and give from your heart. Many organizations close to me are worthy and in need of #GivingTuesday …

Consider helping some that mean much to me:

Helping our church with ministries and the finishing of our new campus. You can go online to our church website. (www.thecommunityfellowship.org)

The Community Dream Center which runs two homes for homeless men getting their lives back together.

The warming center of MHC that is open each night serving homeless friends with a warm place to stay, a meal and support to make good decisions.

Sports ministry in Cuba is another close to my heart as I go back there this week.

Send Relief is a new partner that serves around the world through disasters and human needs. Go to www.sendrelief.org for more details

There are so many other worthy causes asking for your help today. It is #givingTuesday and each organization survives of such gifts. Thank you for your support and your gift. All donations are tax deductible. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The following verses are my heart for serving others and living with purpose…

Proverbs 31:8-9 NLT

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. 9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.

Consider giving. It will make a difference. But even more important, pray for the organizations and needs that are close to your heart.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
