Be thankful and share Philippians 4:10

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
    Be thankful for what you receive.  Paul was thankful for what the Philippian Church gave him.  Paul did not preach to get money, he preached the Word of Salvation.  In 1 Corinthians 9:11-18 you can read this.  Paul wanted the people to know he preached the word of salvation to everyone, the ploughman, the thrasher, the Jew, the gentile, the poor man, to everyone.
   Paul also wants the church at Philipi to know he appreciated their help in his quest to share the word of salvation to all.  Philippians 4:10 "But I rejoiced in the LORD greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity."
   Paul also wanted the Philippians to know he appreciated their gifts.  Paul maintained and taught that it was a church's responsibility to support God's ministers.  Do you and/or your church support your minister's of the word?  In what ways do you share what God has given you?  With monetary support?  In time? In prayer? In devotion?  In sharing with others the word?  I know people who are just glad to have anything at all, just a candle to keep them warm in their tent- as they live in the woods.  They ask for nothing, but are thankful for anything. 
   May God open our hearts to be thankful for all, and to share the prosperity we have with others. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
