Live to Give
One of the things that I genuinely love doing is giving. That's why I've made it a must that some of the monies we receive from our membership for Keeping It Real Magazine go to charities and we tend to buy each of our members a gift once they have fully subscribed with us.
We have been taught as children to give and as parents we teach our children how important it is to give to others. But are you practising what you preach to your children or still practising what you have been taught as a child?
As humans we do have a tendency to have a selfish streak within us. If it doesn't benefit us then we won't give or if it's going to take up too much of our time then we might not attend a certain place when were asked to. Then we ask God to bless us, but why should we ask God to bless us when we don't want to bless others?
It's important to give not only if it benefits you. For example our members have no hesitation in paying the subscription because they want to bless others, they want to bless others by sharing their personal experiences knowing what they write will help someone that has gone through a same situation as them. And I know they feel so good knowing that they have encouraged somebody. They're not just giving to the magazine but giving to others and I believe God will bless them. I have personally known for myself that you can never out give God every time I have given I have received a blessing back.
If you read throughout the Bible Jesus always gave, yes don't get me wrong there are times you will need to spend by yourself especially in prayer and meditation, but don't forget that you were put on this earth to help others and to give back to others.
In Matthew 25:34-46 this scripture stresses the importance of giving to others. So this is not something that needs to be taken likely. Believe me when you give you'll experience so much more joy in this life.
By giving you are respecting and valuing human life more, most importantly you are pleasing God. So what's in your gift box today? Whatever it is don't hold it back live to give.

Historic Black College choirs across the country traditionally visit local community churches. For many churches it's reminiscent of a homecoming. Alum, prospective students and the community at large celebrate the choir, enjoy and appreciate the sacred music, pay tribute to loved ones that have helped financially support and embraced the school's mission which instills pride in the hope and dream of surviving and making it in a harsh world. Their presence is a testament of God's goodness.
Recently a friend of mine decided to quit her mobile hairdressing business. She had been running this business for almost a year. "Why do you want to quit?" I asked her, "It seems like things are going really well."
Recently a friend of mine had an unexpected surprise. She told me she was pregnant, the next day I went to see her to congratulate her on the good news. I flung my arms around her and said how happy I was. But her response was not what I expected. Normally women would be pleased when they find out their pregnant but not her. I asked what was wrong this was her answer.
Life throws at us many challenges. When we begin to dwell on the challenges we start to feel depressed, lose focus, and start handling the situation our own way instead of seeking God.
Sometimes in life we can get into what's called being ‘stuck in a rut'. By the grace of God you wake up every morning doing the same routine which might consist of going to work, getting the children ready for school, preparing the dinner and so forth. Doing the same routine can be mundane and it can get frustrating.
Running a business has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding things I have ever done. Rewarding because of the fact you are giving people a product that they like and you are achieving something. Challenging because the consistent hard work that goes into it, especially in the early stages. In terms of marketing, building creditability, making sales, and planning.
