Giving Outside The Box

Last night, I stayed up the whole night in prayer.  I prayed for one and all, especially for those who are less advantaged.

It made me realize that we are all resilient and can do things that we don't normally do.

Usually, I do not stay awake for the whole night (only part of the night!).  Usually we give in a certain way.  Perhaps worth trying other creative ways of giving - giving "outside the box"!

For example give to your spouse/child/parent/colleague/employee in a way that you have never done before.

Perhaps sending your spouse a lovely note of thank you, your child an unexpected gift, sharing a lovely childhood experience with your parent, or giving an employee or colleague a gift voucher to a favorite restaurant if these are things that you have not done before.

Giving is a wonderful blessing.  You add a little spice to your giving when you give in an unexpected manner.  It’s worth a try - I had a great experience praying last night!
