ALWAYS have an ENVELOPE with You!

WHY?

============================================
This is a practice that I believe is worth sharing!
I always carry an envelope with me ... for me to:
- get ready to give a GIFT to someone.
============================================

These past days ... I have been receiving lots and lots of blessings through friends, family members and others.
They share, they bless, they give.

IMMEDIATELY ... i have to freely GIVE as i have freely RECEIVED.

It is a Joy!
It is a Flow!
It is a River!
It keeps on coming back!

==========================


Many Kinds of ENVELOPES I usually carry along with me (at least inside my Planner)

  • - The TITHE Envelope!  
    • The Tithe belongs to the LORD!  This has to be given IMMEDIATELY!

  • - The BLESS OTHERS Envelope!  
    • This must be led by the Holy Spirit.

  • - The FREE Envelope!  
    • This is usually given by me for an errand;  a "tip" for something in return.

  • - The ASSISTANCE Envelope!  
    • Get ready to always give after a visit (to someone in the hospital, prison cell, a marginalized community, a lesser fortunate relative ... and so on) BE LED BY GOD!


==========================

NO MONEY?
JUST TRY CARRYING AN EMPTY ENVELOPE WITH YOU ...
GOD WILL PROVIDE WHAT IS FOR THE INSIDE!

believe!
believe!
believe!
