Sponges

Wet sponges can only give.

Dry sponges can only take.

We are sponges.

Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, Vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil At which he told under the sun? Ecclesiastes 1:2-3

…to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19

And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18

And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:18-21

Romans 1

Romans 12

Focus on one specific blessing each day.

Express gratitude in the moment.

Give thanks in public ways.

Be thankful for people more than things.

Do it the old fashioned way: write a letter!

Write a letter to God.

Give thanks for your enemies.

When you need something extra, come to the cross and you’ll find it.
