A Summer of Giveaways

I hope your weekend was as good as mine.  Sleeping in, reading, and relishing in days with the husband.

Halfway through book 7 of Harry Potter.

Elise is my newest bloggy friend, and I hope you will enjoy her as much as I do! 

Elise's pieces is where I am today; and because this summer is so hot and miserable,

it has become the summer of giveaways!

To Bless Others

In Genesis, when the Lord is calling Abram, he says this to him

"I will bless you and make your name great so that you will be a blessing"

The purpose of the Lord's blessings is not for us to hoard to ourselves.
This is so counter what America screams at us.
We are not to pour our wealth and perfume over ourselves
We have drenched ourselves in so much perfume that we sink.
We reek.  We are sticky, horribly pungent, and we scream look at me.

In a culture of gluttony and hoarding, I want to give.
To pour the perfume over the feet of the needy.
I don't want to reek of selfishness.
I want to pour out all my perfume on Jesus.
