2 Corinthians 9:7
Let each one as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart to give, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for
God loves
God takes pleasure in
God prizes above other things,
and God is unwilling to abandon or to do without
a cheerful, joyous, and prompt giver.

Easy for me to be cheerful giver when spring time comes around

• Dreaming of all thing we want to do this spring summer with friends and family
• When i get off of work, taking Juniper to the park, great atmosphere
  • She choose the park by the slide color
  • Change up - chalk
• When we go shopping, weakness for summer type items

Recap verse
Why God loves a cheerful giver? He is cheerful giver

• He does not look at the cost
• He looks at end result and who benefits
  

The challenge for us to be a cheerful giver
Difficult to do our best when it is not from the heart

The focus for us is be like God, and be a cheerful giver

• Dream what God will do with the amount I give today
• Dream God can do with my time

 
Key Phrase: God loves a cheerful giver and is cheerful giver
