Scott Sisters-1/18/10 EMERGENCY ACTION ALERT!

Mrs. Rasco just received a phone call from Gladys Scott
that both of Jamie Scott's kidneys have shut down and that
she has been in the prison infirmary since last Saturday
hooked up to IV fluids with a heavy build-up of
toxins in her body. Jamie has yet to be sent to a
hospital due to "paperwork." Jamie pleaded that Gladys
not contact their mother because she didn't want to burden
her with anymore worry on top of caring for all of the children.

Gladys has offered to donate a kidney to Jamie and
was told that she cannot because she is a state prisoner
and that it would be too expensive. The greatest
heartbreak of all is that Jamie has asked to be allowed
to die because she wants to come home so badly
and no longer believes that it will ever happen.

JAMIE SCOTT, #19197, MUST BE TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY! Her physical and mental
state require the highest levels of professional care.

A Lifestyle Of Giving

Tanya James

“Give and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38

“…whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7b

When I read those two scriptures, I get very excited about giving. I mean uncontainable excitement and guess what, I am not even thinking about financial giving. It seems sometimes we get stuck there – believing the only way we can give is with money. This means if we don’t have any money, we may feel that we have nothing to give.

However, there are so many other ways to give. Matter of fact, giving should be a part of your lifestyle. It should be something that you do so freely and regularly that it’s just a natural part of who you are.

So you ask, "How can I give something other than money?"

You can give of your time by serving in a ministry within the 4 walls of your church or even volunteering with an organization in your community. Going even further than that, make sure you are giving your time to your family. Don’t always give the best of you to everyone else and only give your family your leftovers.

You can give of your heart and compassion to those that may simply need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on or someone to pray with them. Sometimes giving of your heart may be sharing an encouraging word or even a simple hug or hello to a stranger.

Of course, you can also give of your money – in addition to your regular tithes and offering – you can give to some of the special projects your church may be working on. You can give to that youth trying to save money to go study abroad. You can give to that family down the street that may be struggling due to someone being laid off. You can give to your local homeless shelter or children’s hospital …

Needless to say, daily we are presented with opportunities to give – lets all make an effort to give something of ourselves daily until it becomes a lifestyle. I guarantee you will find out what it means to be blessed to be a blessing!
