Maybe you still have your $1, $2 or $5 bill that was given out on Sunday. Read Jesus' parable about the men given 1, 2 or 5 talents we talked about here (btw, "talent" didn't refer to the fact that they could play the trumpet or juggle--it was a unit of money.)
maybe you're still turning it over in your mind (like I am) how you can possibly use an amount that small to bless someone.
I've already heard stories of families in need being given help, of the money turning into more money for someone going through hard times. I even heard about how a pair of socks moved someone to tears. All very moving stories. All inspired. And all the people who told their stories were moved telling them. They were glad they were given the impetus to think outside themselves.
This is what being a blessing always results in. You discover that giving is way better than receiving. Paradoxically, you end up getting more than you give.
So what are you doing with your money? Tell us your story.
