Mennonite Giving
I talked a while ago about the Mennonites being a blessed people. The message today at The Bay (the church I attend out here) was about being a giving people. And I really believe that part of the reason that Mennonites have been blessed is because they are so giving and generous. I have certainly looked to the example that my parents have given me, which includes so much more than just the giving of money. They give of their time, energy and other resources. And I am so thankful to have grown up seeing their generosity and the way it continues even today.
