Generosity as Thanksgiving 
Have you ever thought of being generous as an opportunity to be thankful? It never occurred to me until I was reading about the importance of generosity (2 Corinthians 9:11). The practice of being generous all the time in every situation is a way to give praise and thanksgiving to God. I have been given so much in my life, in every way. Can't I also be generous in every way as a means of saying thanks for all that I have?  ~ Debbie Muthersbaugh, Dean 

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God~ 2 Corinthians 9:11

The Vanderbeekers Make a Wish by Karina Yan Glaser.  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2021.

IM 813 G462

The Vanderbeeker kids find an unopened letter to their father from their grandfather, Pop-Pop, who died before they were born.  While they are trying to learn more about Pop-Pop, they must contend with the unexpected arrival of Mama’s parents. Papa is out of town, Mama is working extra, long hours, and Grandma is critical of everything they do. As with the previous four books in the series, there is humor, a problem to solve, and a loving family.

“But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Luke 18:16 NIV
