generosity

day 6 of project 365
people--family, friends, neighbors--have been so generous this week to help provide for us during this life transition. we've been given furniture, money, opportunities to work, etc. and everything has been coming together so easily. this is such a blessing when i've been spending the last week looking at budgeting our money for the next year. it seems like everytime i get overwhelmed and don't understand how on earth this is all going to work out, someone steps in and helps provide for us in a very unanticipated way. this is also such a lesson. the hubs and i had been reading through the book of hebrews together and were both overcome by the passage below. people have been providing so graciously for us, and we ought not be misers with the blessings, but freely live and bountifully give without fear because the Lord will (obviously, as he has indeed shown this week) provide for us. thank you to all who have dealt bountifully with us without fear; may we also embody that same spirit as we build relationships with other people.

Hebrews 13

 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say,

     “The Lord is my helper;

                      I will not fear;

                        what can man do to me?”
