Lent: Day 3 // Gift Tool Box

-------------------------------------------------------------------

{Lent} Day 3:

40 acts // Create Your Toolbox // Each of us has a toolbox, and no two are alike. They are full of the things that make us unique: our experiences, our skills, our faith, our resources, our intelligence, our passions, our networks. 

Create a list of the tools you have at your disposal: it might include your creative mind, your enthusiasm, your computer skills, or your savings. Then, use one item on your list to bless someone today, and then tell us which one you used using the #40acts hash tag.

My tool that I used: 

Raising awareness of & giving charitable gifts #40acts #day3 #lent #oxfamunwrapped

Oxfam Unwrapped Gift : see my post on Oxfam Unwrapped Gifts 

using your Nectar points!

Live Free // Choose a regular reminder that prompts you to pray for people living in poverty. It might be a note on your mirror, or your phone background #BeFree #LiveFree.

I opened this gift (soap) this morning.. saw where it was made.. will be using it as a prayer aid/reminder instead #savesyria

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope your Lent efforts are still going strong!

Blessings!

"10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: 

bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 

11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might 

so that you may have great endurance and patience, 

12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to 

share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 

13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us 

into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 

14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

{Colossians 1:10-14}

Syria: Children of War

Living in Syria, Ruth just draws what she sees. Bloodshed. Fighting. Persecution. At 13 years old, she’s seen things no child should see. But as part of a trauma counselling programme led by Open Doors, her drawing is helping her to find hope in Jesus. Please give today to protect persecuted children like Ruth, who suffer more because of their faith.

You can become a Secret Child Sponsor for £18 a month and help give a persecuted child protection, provision and a Christian education. Not just for today but for tomorrow and the years to come.

For their safety, you won’t know the child your support is reaching or even where they live. But you will receive a welcome pack, regular updates and a fridge magnet to help you pray for persecuted children around the world.

Yes, I’d like to become a Secret Child Sponsor for £18 a month

Give today and your donation will help another child like Ruth who faces violence or discrimination because of their faith.

Yes, I’d like to give a gift of hope to a persecuted child today

You can also support organisations like Syrian Arab Red Crescent, the world’s largest humanitarian and development network, with millions of volunteers in 187 member National Societies. They continue  ‘saving lives and changing minds’ by focusing their work in three key areas: 1) disaster response and recovery, 2) development and 3) promoting social inclusion and peace. - See more at: http://www.ifrc.org/en/what-we-do/#sthash.n24LyncU.dpuf
