Nougat 31

What are some things we like to give? As we close the curtain on a year of foment, let’s consider how we can respond to today’s Holy Nougat

“You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

As we face 2023, how would we describe our giving? Have we been inclusive givers? Traditionally, we stick to giving of gifts (or money), but is that all we’re being asked to do in the nougat? What of our time and talents; sometimes that’s what is needed.

Let’s rate ourselves on a scale of 1-5 (1 being extremely generous, & 5 being room for makeover) and see how we are doing in this season
