I come from a long line of Scots-Irish who loved to give, but were stubborn about receiving. I have been like this at times--full of pride. I didn't see how I was denying myself a blessing, and denying the would-be-giver of one as well. How many times do we do this with God, thinking we can give, give, give without first receiving the gift of Himself? Oh, He blesses us to be blessing. What a wonderful God He is! Thank you for this reminder. Many blessings!Melissa Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024400805290277282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-21985874491783039872010-12-09T15:48:47.327-06:002010-12-09T15:48:47.327-06:00my dear lisa, this really showed me the church. ho...my dear lisa, this really showed me the church. how blessed you are, to know these people, to receive so fully from them. and how blessed we are to receive from you. thank you sister. xo (just so you know, this was the final imperfect prose until the new year. merry christmas!)Mommy Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989213786947802537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-52190458885487893732010-12-08T19:41:30.845-06:002010-12-08T19:41:30.845-06:00i think it is good if i flow encouragement more th...i think it is good if i flow encouragement more than i have been...especially with my husband...oh how i can not be a gift with words to him:(<br /><br />i love the last four line sequence...<br /><br />thanks for this...it's a blessing!<br /><br />now, you be blessed!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159150789704724833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-50508679828354055192010-12-08T13:09:22.779-06:002010-12-08T13:09:22.779-06:00Thank you for reminding me that I need to be givin...Thank you for reminding me that I need to be giving more. But I can't do that until I'm filled myself. When I try to give if I haven't let Him fill me, I'm giving the dregs of my life.
