Dear Chapel Brothers and Sisters,
We are at the beginning of another fall season which usually means back to a more daily routine. As you set your time to fill your 168
hours of the week, may I offer you this challenge? Try to "out-give" God! What am I saying? As God blesses us, we try to thank Him by giving of our money and our time in service to Him. I feel blessed by my family, job, friendships, answers to my many prayers, all the support He gives in times of need, my quiet time with Him is very special. Yes, He shows His love for me daily. How about you? Can you see God's hand in your life? I hope you do and that you take the challenge to see if you van give back as much as the all knowing and caring Father gives to us. This is a contest that you will lose, for no one can out-give God. The real joy in the contest is how much peace you experience watching the Father work in your life. He loves when His children are active in serving, giving and spending time with the Lord. For that reason He will pour out His blessing to you.
So let the ability you have, the time you have, and the desire you have to please the Master excite you to take the challenge to repay Him for all He does day in and day out for you.
God Bless,
Pat Jones
