When the gym meets fundraising…

So when I go to the gym I have to run on an elliptical cause basically I’m a wimp and need zero impact exercise. There is a screen where you can set a timed workout and what type of workout you want. When you set your time and start running, after you have completed 20% of the workout the sentence “Great job! You have completed 20% percent of your workout” comes across the screen. What the machine fails to tell me is that “you have 80% of your workout remaining.” Of course it doesn’t say that! It knows that I want to feel good about my 20% ! And I can do simple addition and subtraction so I know I have 80% left. Im sure you’re wondering why I am telling you about my routine at the gym. Well incase you couldn’t guess…. It ties into our support raising.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
