Skepticism is also a spiritual block when you know panhandlers may use your donation unwisely. The point is to manage His money and goods to help you first (like taking the first breath from an oxygen mask in an airplane at high altitude), then give the rest generously. Giving takes practice like home budgeting. :) Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779537522457463733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36295725.post-13504842404658451432014-08-07T18:17:52.799-04:002014-08-07T18:17:52.799-04:00I have enjoyed your "food for thought" a...I have enjoyed your "food for thought" about simple living. I have struggled with this for years and have had issues justifying even dinner out if it meant the extra money I spent was not available for feeding others in need. I'm coming to realize that it IS all about the attitude, that what we have should be shared with love ala Woolman. I can enjoy a home with guestrooms and room for more at the table as long as I know that I am called to be a gracious host. That part's a little difficult for an introvert like me, but I'm working on it! :)Thanks for your blog series on this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36295725.post-87970051575014279812014-08-07T15:15:22.438-04:002014-08-07T15:15:22.438-04:00Well, Brent, I was thinking more about the MG, tho...Well, Brent, I was thinking more about the MG, though a pick up would have been handy a couple of weeks ago when we were moving.
