More Blessed to Give


As an adult I’ve found myself in a number of long-term care-giving situations and I’ll admit that over the years I’ve thrown a few pity parties. During a recent poor-me situation I was brought up short when the Spirit within me ask if I’d rather be a caregiver, or a care-receiver. In his farewell to the Ephesians Paul said, “ In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35 NIV).
