Jesus said it, I believe it, that settles it! And you, dear Pitman member, have blessed us again. You give so much. You give to feed the needy in Trenton; to our “Reaching Out in Faith” campaign; you give via regular weekly contributions; and now the Sikes and Cooper’s are the recipients of your generous giving again. We are humbled.
Like many of you, Katherine and I have given more money to God these last two years than ever before. We’re blessed to have been able to give like we have. Did it hurt? Yes. Was it sacrificial? Yes. Did we do without? Yes. But it was so worth it, and I would not change a thing! We intend to repeat this pattern of giving in 2009. We feel blessed to be able to give.
Then last Sunday you blessed us again by extending your love via your generous Christmas gift. As is our custom, we are doing some special work on our house to serve as a constant reminder of your love. We’re sharing with our children. Plus, we are giving “above and beyond” because of your gift. We are able to treat ourselves, do some home improvements and give more to others.
Proud to serve you, Dan and Katherine
