Giving of your time and treasure is a great thing to do. When you give of yourself it means someone will be blessed by how much you care. The things you value are usually the best places to donate to such as a place of worship, charities, schools and other organizations that do good works. Our world is better when people share their resources to help others.

One can give of their time and talents when they directly impact people. An example of this is former US President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn in their Habitat For Humanity work. Believing in a cause means having some skin in the game by not writing a check but actually getting directly involved and being among the people and organizations you care about.

We live in a time when people are starving, suffering and are needy and if we would give our time and be faithful in charity and love the world could be changed in so many good ways. It’s time to make our world a better place through works and giving.

Tonight I went to a gathering of folks who once belonged to the same church. We all have a shared experience in that place where we once worshiped and had fellowship. Church is a place of spiritual expression and faith so when one must leave a place of worship there are reasons why and that sometimes you have to change. I have done this more than on one occasion in my life and its never easy.

Sometimes you leave because of theological or philosophical reasons, those are tough. Leaving means you have to relocate because of life’s calling to live and work in another community. Some churches will hold homecoming observances that brings former members back for a special worship service. I haven’t been to one in quite some time. Reuniting is good when there is friendship and camaraderie outside the walls of the church house. In tonight’s gathering there was good food, conversation and more.

Leaving means finding yourself in a place where you can find yourself.
