He will meet your needs as you show compassion to the lost

Today I am feeling incredibly blessed and at peace. I realize I have been hearing God correctly. I have a $100 gift card from price mart foods and a $40 gift card from starbucks. I realize I have a stock of food in my freezer and cupboards. What I do realize in this giving adventure is God is wanting me to reach the lost with my little "love" baskets I assemble.
Today on my heart is a teen girl whose father committed suicide a year ago. She sounds as if she is going through such inner turmoil by her postings on facebook. The music she is listening to is somewhat hopeless, though I am sure she is relating to the pain of the artist. The Lord has inspired me to give her a CD by a Christian artist "Lisa Adrianne" called "Carry On". Her music is geared to a younger audiance. She also lost her mother during her teens (I believe) to cancer. I can see how through the medium of music, this artist may build upon her hope in her soul and help sort through the confusion in her soul.
The second person I am going to make up a gift basket and a gift certificate to the "Treasure Box" thrift store is a prostitude. My friend the other night was coming to my house and had gospel tracks on her. She is a great evangelizer. The prostitude shared much of her story with her and her address. I am hoping my gifts will touch her soul.
I believe God is showing me that this ministry matters. He is showing me that my dream to write a book matters so others will also do the same also matters. A sort of "pay it forward". So many people in our culture need someone with love to come around them and show them their support. Many blessings! Happy giving if you are so inspired! Share with me your stories!
God bless!!

Heart motives

Today I am wrestling with myself and my true heart motives. I have visitors coming and I am deciding if the amount I spend on them should come out of my giving budget. I am wondering if I am trusting in the Lord's provision as I have not received gifts in a while from Him. But deep in my heart I know this can not be my motive to give. God is the giver of all perfect gifts and I need only trust in Him to meet my needs. He also does beyond that and meets my desires also. This is something I must pray over. It does fall under the gift of hospitality. Lord, show me the needs you have for me, the priorities. Let your Holy Spirit guide and I honor what all belongs to you anyways. Heal my heart of any greed motives. Let my security lie with you in this journey and love like you love.

Happy Canada Day and Fourth of July!!

Yesterday I was reminded the great privileges we share in this Canadian country of ourselves. The available health care is only to name one. Basic needs like clean water are another. So my challenge for all you Canadians an Us citizens (with upcoming forth of July celbrations) is to donate a minimum of $5 to a third world country. Let me know what you chose, and how you felt. Post your results in my comment section or email me @ giftgiversboxshowschristslove@gmail.com
Spread the world and make others aware of this blog. I am going to try to post 5 shorter entries a week, but need reader's encouragement. Let me know of your stories of giving, especially gifts of encouragement and mercy to those you meet in your pathway.
Many blessings,
The giftgiver!!!
