"Let the Giving Begin"...

I recently saw an ad from Target with the slogan "Let the Giving Begin" and couldn't help but think about how true that message is!

Let the gift of love be given to those who have hate and anger in their hearts...

Let the gift of friendship be given to those who feel alone and separated...

Let the gift of compassion be given to those who are just trying to survive...

Let the gift of hope be given to those facing dispair or life's challenges...

Let the gift of encouragement and support be given to those who need a helping hand...

Let the gift of God be given and shared with all...

"Let the Giving Begin"...and let the giving CONTINUE...

1 Thessalonians 3:12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

Thanks for the post, Jenn! Such a good reminder that there are many gifts to be given that aren't concrete and that can't be measured by how much it costs or is worth... because no one really knows how much those kinds of gifts cost to the giver nor how much they are worth to the receiver!!!

My gift to you this Christmas Season - a gift of blessing: Every time you are able to give of yourself in love, friendship, compassion, hope, and encouragement, may it be pressed down, shaken together, running over, and may God pour out his blessings back on you so that you may not even be able to measure it......

the gift that keeps giving... God's Love!!!!!
