Give twice and call me in the morning

Monday July 3rd, 2nd Corinthians 8: 7 But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving. Have you every met really stingy people? The ones that always want to make sure they leave with more than they brought. God had to teach that lesson in the desert. The Israelites could only gather enough manna for their use on that day, and that day only, with exception of being able to collect two days worth of manna on the sixth day. That way they could rest on the Sabbath. If they collected too much, it rotted, and it stunk. Hording causes rotting and stink, both in our tents and in our souls. The only cure is to learn the grace of giving. Not feeling well? Give twice and call me in the morning.
