"Mama? Remember when you said that when we give our old clothes away to other people, God gives us more clothes back?" 7yo daughter
"Sure." ~ me
"Well, let's give away some more clothes!" 7yo
My note: God doesn't always work this way, blessing you with clothes when you've given some away, or blessing you with $10 when you've given $5, but often He does. Maybe all it takes is a little trust, like our 7 year old has.
Just like we love to reward our children for doing the right thing, I'll bet our Heavenly Father loves to reward us for doing good. But only if we don't nag and say, "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" To that, God may respond as I do to my kids, "Gimme gimme never gets."
Now, get your cynical self out there and share something - anything nice - with someone less fortunate than you. Trust God when He says He'll take care of you (see Luke 12:22-31).
