Gift

Ephesians 2:6-9New International Version (NIV)

⁶ And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, ⁷ in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast.



Philanthropy

In June 2006, Buffett announced his plans to contribute 10 million of his Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, worth approximately $36 billion. This is said to be the largest single charitable donation in history. The foundation will receive 5% of the total donation on an annual basis in July, beginning in 2006. Buffett also plans to donate his remaining Berkshire shares to his family’s foundation headed by his three kids. His children will not inherit a significant portion of his wealth as he intends to use it for the good of humanity. “I want to give my kids enough so that they could feel that they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing,” says Buffett.

We have a few more days left this month to talk about Thanks and Giving. As a random act of kindness share with someone anything you have an abundance of.  Be a Blessing give a Blessing of Thanks.

Rich in Spirit

1 Timothy 6:17New International Version (NIV)

¹⁷ Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

Michael Dell

Michael Dell, U.S.

Donations: $1.2 billion Net worth: $14.6 billion In 1999 Michael and his wife Susan Dell started their eponymous foundation, which focuses on improving lives of poor urban children. Their money provides scholarships for high achievers and backs innovative charter schools. It also has a program to combat childhood obesity in the U.S., and is now working to improve lives of children living in India's urban slums.

God loves a cheerful giver be it $1.00 or $1.2 billion.   When we tithe money or time it is consider paying your sin debt  forward. God has promise us treasures in heaven. No time like the present. Today is an great time to give. This is an excellent random act of kindness.  Be a Blessing give a Blessing.

Thanksgiving

John 11:41-42New International Version (NIV)


⁴¹ So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. ⁴² I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

In 1620 Pilgrims founded Plymouth Mass. The actual meaning of Pilgrim is a person who journeys, especially a long distance, to some sacred place as an act of religious devotion: pilgrims to the Holy Land.

God sent his son Jesus on the first Pilgrimage to deliver a very powerful message on how to live.

We should thank the Lord for that kind act.

As we sit at the dinner table today it is the perfect time to do a prayer of protection for our love ones.

Let's also pray for everyone in your life and around the world for Peace. As a  random act of kindness invite someone with you to dinner. Be a Blessing give a Blessing of a Peaceful meal.

Be There

Psalm 37:3-4New International Version (NIV)

³ Trust in the Lord and do good;

    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
⁴ Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Bill Gates: The Rich must help the poor.

Bill Gates

"The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important. We've raised our kids in a religious way; they've gone to the Catholic church that Melinda goes to and I participate in. I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at least a moral belief," Gates says in an interview with Rolling Stone in the March 27 issue of the magazine

Bill Gates has long been admired and listened to because of his great wealth; his ability to build one of the most successful companies ever, Microsoft (MSFT); and his contributions to the PC revolution. Now that he's spending most of his time as co-chairman of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he has a new role: shaping the world's thinking about how best to combat social problems.

The state of being and knowing is a powerful place to be. As Christians we know thru Jesus that being available to allow God to do his will is Predestine.

As a random act of kindness be there to give. Remember God is able to do great thing thru you. Be a Blessing give a Blessing!

Spiritual War

Christ and Child

Ephesians 6New International Version (NIV)

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ² “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— ³ “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”^[a]

⁴ Fathers,^[b] do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

What we are witnessing around the world today is considered a Spiritual War.  Parents as I have stated before we have a moral and Spiritual obligation to instruct and train in the Lord.

Warnings and Encouragements

12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be^[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ² There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. ³ What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.

Recently we have listen to many Politicians talking loud and saying nothing. I  heard one candidate vow to eliminate student loans.  Like Jesus we all experience disappointments . It is a learning experience. We can't complain about who did not vote for or how someone else voted.  The help that is needed will not come from man.   It will be delivered  directly from God.

I learned from my mother it's not how you fall.  It's how you get up!
