A Good Measure, Overflowing!


Luke 6: 37-38
"Give and gifts will be given to you;
good measure, packed together,
shaken down and overflowing
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in turn be measured out to you."

If we are not generous with our 
time, talent and treasure,
we will be like the Dead Sea:
because it has no outlet, 
no water flows out of it,
it is so rich in minerals that 
no fish can live in it.

The water is so dense that 
one can float in it and not sink!

This is one reason why my sister Peggy and I
like sharing our joy in creating! 

We held a Crafternoon last Saturday
and enjoyed making backgrounds
and making faces!
Truly when we are generous with
what God has blessed us with,
our cups runneth over! 

I love blog parties!
Won't you join us?

  3. The old saying, "it is better to give than to receive" is so true! When we give to others, (either of ourselves or a literal gift) we end up being blessed in return! =)

  4. A crafternoon...I love that word! It conjures up images of joy and laughter, of helping and not being afraid to fail. The ladies in your sphere are blessed with your talents and giving.

    Thanks for sharing the verse from Luke. I found you on Soli Deo Gloria.
