Monday's Ministry- Growing Vegetables

You can help people by growing vegetables. It isn't too late to get your seeds in the ground. Radishes, bush beans, bush peas, and lettuce are easy to grow. Plus these vegetables grow quickly.

You can share your homegrown vegetables with you local Christian soup kitchen, neighbors, church workers, and food pantries (check first to see if they will accept fresh foods).

If you're unable to grow vegetables, then you can also participate by collecting canned food to donate. It doesn't take a big plan. Just grab a box or pull along a wagon. Spend an hour going door to door and you'll be amazed at how much food you will be able to collect.

At harvest time, your family can go U picking and give away the fresh produce. Wouldn't it be special for people to eat fresh strawberry shortcake or freshly sliced peaches at a soup kitchen?

Monday's Ministry - Baby Shower

Our church has started their Mother's Day tradition. This time, every year, there is a baby bassinet set up outside of the church nursery. It gets filled with baby items - clothing, diapers, toiletries, even Bibles. Around Mother's Day the items are donated to the Pregnancy Care Center and given to the new expecting mothers. If your church doesn't do this, you can still participate and drop your items off at the Pregnancy Care Center.

The Benefits of Tithing

Most of us are probably familiar with the Bible verse -
It is more blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:35) But, how can that be?

According to How to Manage Your Money there are 3 main benefits for the giver:

When we give to the Lord, our hearts will grow closer to Him.
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Mathew 6:21

Do you want to know God better? Then, trust what it says in Mathew and give Him some of your treasure.

We are investing in our eternal account, treasures that we will enjoy later on.
Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:20

Are you going to heaven? Then you'll want to have some treasures there. You can't take things with you when you go. However, you can earn rewards that will be waiting for you in heaven.

When we give to the Lord, He gives us more resources - for our own needs and for others.
Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. 2 Corinthians 9:6

If you show the Lord that you are responsible in giving Him some of your treasure and spending your money wisely, He will trust you with the ability to handle more money. We may get more, when we prove that we can give more.
