It Starts in the Heart!
I truly believe that not only does God love a cheerful giver, but that the act of giving will also make you more cheerful! When you give you experience the true joy of knowing you’ve made a positive impact on someone’s life, and you acknowledge that there is something more important out there than money or material things.
Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
I am starting a new challenge here at Just Bead It!
It’s called From My Heart to your Heart and I want everyone to get involved!
Here is the plan:
- Buy TWO extra items per week (non-perishables, toiletries, baby products ,etc)
- Place your items in a donation box or bag in your home.
- Every few weeks, take your box of donations to your local homeless shelter, food bank, church, etc
- At the end of the year, you will have donated 104 items!
If 10 people commit to this challenge, that is 1,040 items we will donate by the end of the year. If 100 people commit, that makes it 10,400 items! Each of us can make a huge impact with just two donations per week!
Each week you can view my blog for weekly deals. All you need to do is gather your coupons and head to the store! Make this a family event. Have your kids decorate your donation box, go with you to drop off your donations, or maybe even contribute their pennies to help!
If we join together, we can make this world a better place!
Mary
