Be Giving
John 3:16, "For God so loved the World, that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (KJV)

For April I want to focus on being giving. I purpose in my life to give to others whenever I am able; even when it is hard. When you give it is important not to expect to be given back. This is a hard concept to grasp for many but when something is given back it is a special feeling. Through out the year I look for opportunities to help others around me.
I give of myself because Jesus gave himself for me. He died on the cross a cruel death, arose three days later, and is in heaven now preparing a place for me. There is nothing I can do to repay Him but to follow what he wants from me.
But this first post on giving is about my Dad and Brother giving to my family. They are cattle ranchers in Colorado, every year they fatten a cow to butcher to fill their freezer. This year they gave us a 1/4 of their beef and I feel overly blessed to get this amazing meat. My dad and step mom drove for two days to bring us all that meat. I still cannot believe I will not be having to pay for beef for the rest of the year. Thank you so much Dad, mom, and Cody!!! We love you so much!!
