I love these words because they describe God’s heart with regards to my personal giving. Peter spoke these words when he traveled to the temple mount to pray. Before entering, he encountered a lame man doing what he had to do to survive - begging for money. The rest of Peter’s words are great: “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have, I give to you. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”
When we run out of money, we tend to think, “I don’t have anything to give.” But upon examination, we discover that people don’t always need money. People need love and encouragement. People need acceptance and authentic concern. That is the great thing about “SHARE LIFE” because on this day we give something we have to meet a need that cannot be bought or manufactured by men. October 26th, we invite you to give a pint of blood to help those fighting illness at Children’s Hospital and/or canned good/s to help the needy. If everyone who can give does give, we will help maximize the blood supply as we did at our first Share Life. Collectively, we will again make a difference in the lives of those struggling to make ends meet.
Let’s gather to “SHARE LIFE”. Join me on Sunday, October 26th at LaMesa Jr. High between 8:00 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Call 661-255-7246 or e-mail office@heartofthecanyons.com. We will schedule your time to give blood before you arrive. Refreshments and games for the kids will be available.
We may not have money to give right now, but what we do have, we can give knowing that God supplies all our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus.
