This week we talked about leaving rooms in our lives and our budgets to minister to those in need. One of the ways I have done this in my own life is to create a list of charities that are important to me because of the work they are doing restoring people's lives and sharing hope. Each month I give money to one of these organizations. For me this list includes:
Spiritual Directors International
To Write Love on Her Arms
Thistle Farms
Drew Theological School
UMCOR
The Young Clergywomen Project
Joyful Hearts
But that's just my list. Then in addition, I set aside money for special offerings that bless the local community through the local church. What is your plan to create a margin to bless those who are hurting in the world? How are you creating room in your budget to bless others above and beyond your tithe?
