Give Away JOY!


Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Give some away and you’ll be surprised at how your supply multiplies!

            The most giving people I know are not necessarily those who are wealthy in material things. They are those who give of their time, their compassion, their physical help and who truly have a heart to share sacrificially from their personal resources.

      Many years ago I had the privilege of knowing an elderly gentleman who would not let a day go past that he wasn’t giving something away.  He’d cut flowers from his yard and take to someone to brighten their day.  He had a garden from which he would gather vegetables and take to his friends and neighbors.  He would make things with his hands, root plants and give cuttings to those who enjoyed gardening.  He’d even bake bread and share with others in his community.

            If someone went to visit him and take him something, he’d always send them home with a gift, as well.  I can remember him vividly saying, “Honey, don’t you know that you can’t ever give anything away!  It always comes back to you multiplied.”

            This wise man had learned from experience the truth of scripture.  You remember the verse in 2 Corinthians 9:6 that teaches: “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”

            Let’s look for ways each day to sow generously! It’s a guaranteed way to multiply your JOY JUICE!  You’ll find yourself overflowing with joy and finding a multitude of ways to share it with others.

         Share His love and JOY today!
