“Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of Jesus,???
(Colossians 3:17)
My daughter, Val, dropped by the other day to drop off wrapping paper I had purchased.? It was for a fundraiser for the grandchildren’s school.? After we talked for a bit, she was about to leave when she pulled out a piece of paper (with an order form) and said, “Oh, by the way, do you want to buy some cookie dough or some pies????? Another school fundraiser!
For fifteen years, since the oldest of our eight grandchildren started school, I have purchased things that I don’t need because I want to be supportive? of them.?
When Val left I thought to myself, she doesn’t mind raising funds for her children’s school, because she is doing it for her children.
I raise funds.? Lots.? Because I am the director of the Women’s Ministry for Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada, I am responsible for raising funds for three women’s ministries.? Our monthly needs average just over $15,000.?
I also give money every month, and I enjoy giving money away.? I wish I had a lot more to give.
I raise money for Jesus.? Oh, He doesn’t need money, but to be able to tell women around the world about Jesus and disciple them, we need money.?
After Val left, I thought to myself, “Why does she feel more comfortable raising money for her kid’s school than I do raising money for Jesus????? ? Perspective!
Dear Jesus, I need a tune-up in my attitude.? Anoint me with your grace so that I have the same freedom to raise funds for you, as my daughter has for raising funds for her children’s school.? Amen
