The Joy of Giving

 

The joy in giving

 

At Christmas time we give people we love gifts.  This week many of us will be exchanging gifts with family and friends. There is great joy and power in giving.

 

I came across a quote (unknown in its origin) that says, “Anyone that says money does not create happiness has not given enough away.”

 

Jesus said it this way in Luke 6:38 (ESV)

 “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

We always get so much more than we give, when giving.

 

Merry Christma!
