Offer thanksgiving.
Thank you my dear lord! We are sooo lucky to be fully loved and kindly blessed by you everyday and every moment!
Pray for the offering and the hearts of the givers.
Since your love and sacrifice for us is sooo selfless, generous and powerful, we are totally moved and inspired by you! So many brothers and sisters are kindly offering the service, money and other essential material to our SP community to help us continue to and influence more people that need you! Even though comparing to what you have given us, what we have done and offer to you , our brothers and sisters are not as much. However, I totally thank you to prepare the gratefully offering heart of all the givers today. I know that they offer by heart just because they have been receiving sooo much from you and they are willing to give back and help more people to know you and be loved by you. And I totally understand that the more they are willing to give, the more they can get just as you do.
