Doing Good and Sharing

 Something to share instead of give…. 

It seems from the time we can walk; we are taught that it’s good to share with others. 

Somehow as the years go by and we become adults this spiritual principle gets twisted in our communications as well as our understanding to become it’s good to give. 

Now maybe your experience is different from mine, but I feel there is a huge difference between giving and sharing. 

We give to get. 

We share to help. 

I give my time to my employer to get a paycheck. 

I give money to retailers to get their goods and services. 

However, I share my heart, my resources, money, and time with others in an effort to help and be of service. 

One of the great benefits of sharing is the unexpected blessings I get. 

My heart fills with humble joy each time I am given a opportunity to help and share with others. 

Are you giving or sharing?... 

Check your experience… 

“Helping others is the foundation stone” Big Book pg. 97 

Lord, let our hearts look to see how we can share to help others and not just give to get, AMEN. 

 “And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.” Hebrews 13:16 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Consider the Source

Consider the source…. 

It’s pretty easy these days to learn just about anything on the internet. 

What is interesting to me is that our whole culture seems to be adapting to this form or information gathering. 

While this is helpful to have instant access, it can also be harmful at times if we don’t consider the source. 

Most information is fueled by a person or host site. 

Depending on what their preferences and opinions are, it seems the facts can be twisted to carry the message they want to share. 

Our current political climate is a great example. 

I will share what I have learned from personal experience and that is this simple fact...

Just because it’s on the internet, TV, or radio, does not mean it’s true! 

Jesus gave us a great example of dealing with His era of social media when He walked the earth with His statement about casting the first stone. 

Please do yourself a favor and consider the source of the information you are gathering before you form your opinions and, as always,.. 

Check your experience … 

“but we let God be the final judge.” Big Book pg. 70 

Lord, let us look at our actions, efforts, and behaviors and leave the judging of others up to you, AMEN. 

“Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” John 8:7 

 Have a blessed day Y'all!

Following

Watch who and what you follow… 

 Remember playing follow the leader as a child? 

While it was a fun game, it only required action to do what the leader did and not much thought was needed. 

Sadly we do this with some parts of our lives as adults. 

Some of us don’t give much thought to who we associate with, what we are doing privately, professionally, and even spiritually. 

Perhaps it’s different for you, but I have blindly followed only to end up in some bad situations due to my lack of participating with my mind and heart. 

The challenge God gives us daily is to build relationships with Him through Jesus, His Word, and fellowship with other believers. 

How is this working out for you?...

Check your experience… 

“Follow the dictates of a Higher Power and you will presently live in a new and wonderful world, no matter what your present circumstances!” Big Book pg 100 

Lord, let us stop the pattern of blindly following others and look to see what is good, AMEN. 

 “My dear friend, do not follow what is bad; follow what is good. The one who does good belongs to God. But the one who does evil has never known God.” 3 John 1:11 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
