Getting and Giving!

Are we making a living or are we making a life?

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill

Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

But don’t go looking for these words in  the New Testament. You are not going to find them. Those words of our Lord Jesus Christ were passed on by word of mouth. The apostle Paul is quoting ‘It is  more blessed to give than to receive’ in Acts 20:35

I want to make a life – but what a challenge.
