Giving Away Money is Fun
One of my great joys and privileges is serving as a trustee for a charitable trust. We basically give away money to a variety of upstart ministries. Not sure how to say this, but giving away money is a ton of fun :)
Serving in this capacity has totally revolutionized the way I look at my own resources. When I'm serving as a trustree I'm keenly aware that the funds aren't mine. I didn't start the fund. I didn't fund the fund. But I've been charged with helping to manage the fund.
But the truth is that we're all trustees. "My resources" aren't really mine. Our resources don't belong to us. Everything we have is on loan from God.
Jesus was right. "It is more blessed to give than to recieve."
True joy is found on the giving side of life!
Maybe we need to see ourselves as trustees or fund managers?
