Gridblog: Generosity

due to receiving another of God's great gifts into our lives, i haven't been spending much time on the computer at all. other than uploading pix of our new family member from the camera, i really haven't had a desire to get an lcd-tan.

being that i'm getting pale, and friends are slagging me for my lack of picture posting on the family site, i'm online. and hey - a gridblog topic has been announced! and so i will add a short rambling to the group.

generosity should be encouraged - at a personal level. none of this left wing "have the government take care of them, isn't that what our taxes are for". that's all well and good, and the government should help those who have no where to turn. but let's not get lazy in our giving. find a cause that touches you; give to it generously.

give from what you have. if you are blessed with money, give it. if you are blessed with time, spend it. if you have skills and abilities that can be of use, put them to it. most of all, give with a joyful heart.

hello cyrus and kristi and kids. nice to finally be online. that last phrase youu wrote is the most important thing when it comes to giving, i think. i believe that God will always find people out there to do the giving itself, but for us to decide to give willingly and with an open mind and heart(willing to let God use us) is what truly changes the giver and the givee. enough blabbing for now. i saw your pictures. we have some too on flickr. www.flickr.com/photos/kiaraandkori. talk to you guys later
