Give until it Hurts

I am applauding Warren Buffet and Bill Gates on their call to billionaires to give 50% of their wealth to charity.

Bill Gates used to be the 2nd richest man in the world and Warren Buffet the 3rd.
In 1996 Warren Buffet decided to donate 99% of his wealth to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and their family charities. Now, Warren Buffet is number one followed by Bill gates as 2nd.

If you give, it will be multiplied in return by our Lord. You cannot outdo God.

Our parish will be celebrating its feast honoring the hearts of Jesus and Mary tomorrow, June 20. It will be culminated by a mass con celebrated by Bishop Deo Iniguez, Jr. and the priests of the Caloocan Diocese.

Every year, we call on the generous donors to help the parish in its projects. And one of them is the construction of our four-storey, multi-purpose building which will be used as educational center for the community members, meeting room of our Ministries.

It has been over three years and the building is only three-fourths complete. the fourth floor construction has been held pending receipt of some more funds from donors. Our parish will be very happy to receive a portion of that amount that you are allocating for charity, for after all, this will benefit our poor community.

These are what the Lord says about giving:

Proverbs 18:16

16 A gift opens the way for the giver
and ushers him to the presence of the Lord.

Proverbs 28:27

He who gives to the poor will lack nothing,
but he who closes their eyes to them
receives many curses.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

6 Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that all things at all
time, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Matthew 10;42

And if anyone of you gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.

Please send your check donation directly to Hearts of Jesus and Mary Parish at Nadurata St. & 7th Ave., Grace Park, Caloocan City, Philippines.

As my blog says, "Wealth in All Areas of Your Life", the Lord will respond to answer your needs, whether financial, relational, emotional, intellectual or physical.

I will be very happy to publish a testimony/ies about this gift giving, not for selfish reasons, but to let other people know that there is generous God who answers prayers, and He cannot be outdone.
