Want an amazing gift idea for your friend, daughter, niece who is expecting?
Happy Fall Reader! I want to talk about generosity and how it multiplies itself. That makes sense with everything we know about how God works. And we know we'll never be more generous than God is. You might typically think of generosity as giving someone a physical gift or money. But we can be generous with our time. We can be generous with our patience. We can be generous with our smiles, our hugs, our empathy, our hospitality. When someone feels our generosity, without even realizing it, they are more likely to turn around and spread generosity. And then we see our gifts multiply. ...That mama we invited over for coffee feels filled up and she's able to pour more into her kids and greet her husband with a smile when she sees him. After that greeting, he is calmer and more excited to pour into his family that evening. ...We were able to use a gift card someone gave us to treat our sister who is going through a difficult time. This gave her a much needed pampering session after all the time she's been spending taking care of those who are sick around her. There are a million examples. Have faith that when you show generosity, it will keep going, and the impact will be much larger than your original gift. Generosity on the Breezy Breastfeeding blog:When Your House is Messy...

I want to end with a great scripture to reflect on by St. Paul to the Corinthians:Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work.
As it is written:
“He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
You are being enriched in every way for all generosity, which through us produces thanksgiving to God,
for the administration of this public service is not only supplying the needs of the holy ones but is also overflowing in many acts of thanksgiving to God.
Through the evidence of this service, you are glorifying God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your contribution to them and to all others,
while in prayer on your behalf they long for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
