โ€œSince you excel in so many waysโ€”in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from usโ€”I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.โ€
2 Corinthians 8:7

We have been blessed beyond measure, it is not lost on me the gifts I have been given can serve a greater purpose than the traditional measure of โ€œsuccess.โ€ I cannot think of a better way to give than to give directly those who suffer the most. No matter their journey that led them to where they are, it is not for us to judge. We are to serve the poor and do so with a joyful heart. He has given us the seed and we will spread it prayerfully. ๐Ÿ™

If you need more encouragement:
Matthew 10:8
Acts 20:35
Proverbs 11:24
