How has someone touched you for Mother's Day

It is important to remember that giving can be expressed in so many ways other than money. Have you ever had someone hand pick flowers for you from God's garden. Has your child given you a priceless hand made Mother's day card that you will treasure always. Write the story of your most precious Mother's Day and how it made you feel. Make sure to title your story.
Send me your email contact information with the title of your story to my email giftgiversboxshowschristslove@gmail.com (to protect your privacy). Within a month I will pick two stories to give one of my" secret giving mission" assignments. It will involve choices so one can give within one's means and/or one's time. Otherwise, they can tell me how they are going to give. I will ask your permission to use the story for my book. I can keep your name anonymous.
So come on ladies and gentlemen. Let's get those tears rolling!

Try giving challenge for a year or more

If you can, try the "penny power" and "dimes for missions" challenge below for a year, otherwise try smaller increments. Set yourself a goal to develop this giving habit which can last a lifetime!

Pennies and Dimes challenge

With so many so much more in need both financially and spiritually the gift giver has a challenge.

It requires you using cash for your weekly expenses, which will lead to better budgeting.'

Collect your pennies for a wonderful organization called "penny Power" through the MCC. See www.pennypower.org for all the work that is accomplished. Also collect your "dimes for missions". You can donate to a mission agency, a church fund, a particular missionary, your child's (children's ) fund to go on a mission trip, or for yourself to go on a mission trip!!

Decorate the jars in a visible place like the kitchen and label: "penny power" and "dimes for missions". Have your friends and aquaintances join in our find out about the work of these agencies if they ask.

To help me for my book, I would so appreciate it! Send me your total for both items and contact info. Also any impact the experience had on you emotionally! God bless you as you save that change for those who so need it!! Email: giftgiversboxshowschristslove@gmail.com

God bless you abundantly!!!
