Great News! We all have something to give, friend! 🎁

Publication date Nov 28, 2023

Hello friend! Thanks for giving your time today to spend a few moments together.  I am so blessed to connect with you.

Every week, at 3:45 pm PST, I head to my office, turn on my webcam, arrange my microphone and prepare for the weekly LIVE Question & Response time through the Jesus.net YouTube channel. For the following 45 minutes, I take questions about life, Jesus, the Bible, marriage, parenting, relationships, and a plethora of other topics. These times are energizing, joyful, challenging and sometimes heavy in my soul because of the painful situations that I get to speak into, on behalf of Jesus.

Can I be honest? Some Wednesdays, I am tired and have nothing left to give. At the end of a long work day that may have included a funeral, tough counseling, sermon preparation and staff training, there are days when I don’t want to give the time or the energy to the questions that come in through the chat during the LIVE times. 

BUT......this is what I know. Whenever I give of my time, resources, or personal experience, Jesus pours out blessing and gives SO much back in return! I can honestly say that no matter how I went into the LIVE, when I left, I was invigorated, joyful, and blessed. When we give what we have, God always gives so much back in return!

My friend, we can all give something today. Some can give time. Some can give talent.  Some can give a listening ear. Some can give expertise. Some can give food. Some can give comfort. If you feel you have nothing to offer, think again! Jesus has told you, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38, NIV

This Giving Tuesday, brings an opportunity to give of yourself through the ministry of A Miracle Every Day. Your gift can bring encouragement to thousands around the world.  It’s not the size of the gift that matters; it’s the size of the sacrifice, and God always promises to overflow your heart with blessing when you give.

You can give right now, Whatever you do, never forget, your gift, and YOU, are a miracle!

Your friend,
