In case you missed it the first time, what better time to GIVE than during the holiday season?! Yayyyyyy for giving!!! Dang, I just got so excited typing this.

Anyway, here's the post from the first LGM 10-Day Give.

I came across this a few months ago when I first learned of Christianpf.com (I highly recommend that site, btw). They do it every October, and I've been waiting anxiously to unite with them in October but it hit me: why wait? We can do our own LGM 10-Day Give. We're LGM! We can do a 30-day give if we want!

Anyway, here's the premise:
Note: I realize that many of us do good deeds and practice generosity every day of our lives without being a part of a group or joining a "challenge". I know we don't need to log it or share it or join a program in order to do good things. And I also realize that scripture says that if we do our alms secretly, God will reward us openly. So, please know that no one is obligated to report back what you've given and please know that if anyone chooses to, it's not to brag but to encourage others or to share giving ideas. I believe God will be glorified and people will be blessed.

So with that said, anybody wanna join in?

Here are 101 Ways to Give Your Time, Money, Energy or Talent

And the 10-Day Give's visionary's "day one" report - cute story. He raised a good point too. When you commit to giving, God will open your eyes to countless opportunities to give.

And his "ideas for giving."

And the thread is here if you want to read some testimonials, results, ideas, etc.

Soooooooooooo.... let's go! Who's in? (And remember, all you need is a heart to give and a desire to participate. You don't have to have money, lots of money, or extra money to participate. You don't have to share details of your giving if you don't want to. You don't have to do anything or report anything. But if you're participating, let us know so we'll know how big this Give is!).

~30k~

Yay! I was hoping you'd join in. You were my biggest inspiration the last go 'round! Yay! When shall we start?

Whenever you say! Ive been giving already this week so I just have to start in the official time lol.

Last year, I started what I think will be a tradition for me. On my birthday, I pulled my team at church into my office and gave them gifts. I'm not there anymore, but I like the idea of giving gifts for my birthday. Since it happens to be coming up, can we start on Monday?

(That'll also give me some time to plan out my gives).

I do this all the time.

But anyways, I bought something for someone, they didn't want it, so I kept some, and gave some away.

They said they're not uncomfortable accepting gifts from people. *shrug*

That kinda offends me. When I want to do for someone and they don't want me to.

My bad, Sherlocc Homegirl. Wasn't the intent at all. Reading that just made This One pull out the proverbial mirror.

Count me in guys!!
Just reading the topic got my blood rushing in this gloomy, rainy day

I already know what I'll do for my birthday next month [thanks Lalala]

Looks like no one wants to set a start date, so I'll list two items fresh on my mind this week:

Wed: Started giving free personal piano lessons to my neighbor who expressed a deep desire to learn how to play piano classics;

Yesterday: I was out and about, from one shopping mall to the next [I took leave to sort out a few things]. I noticed how all the car guards at these malls were desperate for money. So I decided to give a certain amount wherever I had parked, though I barely spent 5 minutes at 3 of the malls. I also gave a fat tip after eating out at some restaurant. I don't know why I did but I just did

I think this time around, we should try and focus on witness as well as giving. We know that often a nice gesture can be the gateway to throwing in a word or seed. Thinking of myself, though Im quick to do something even for a complete stranger, often I will do it and just say "God bless you" or even not even let them know. So this time, for every opportunity lets try to make an opportunity. Using Musallio's ex., the next time he goes to the parking lot, say something even as simple as "Jesus loves you and He died for you". Its going to be a challenge for me, but I think we may have some great testimonies! Besides, what can you give better than Christ?
