Comment from Mark Twombly:

Thanks Ross. 

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
(Romans 8:32 ESV)

‘Freely you received, freely give.’ - from Matthew 10:8 NASB

‘And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.’
(John 1:16 ESV, of Jesus)

For me it’s about coming to grips with the awesome generosity of God, and when He fills our hearts with this reality, ‘have to’ turns to ‘want to’ and ‘get to’.

For me the primary issue of generosity is time, seeking to simplify and free up time to be as flexible and available to others as I can be, and wise in doing so with my family and community.

Blessings,

Mark

Hey Mark – Even though I’m focusing more on workplace ministry, I’m still doing some work in real estate, which is how I can get the same info as these other companies for free. Depending on values, we may have a shot to appeal again this year. Let’s set a time to discuss and see what we can do! Cooper
