30-Day Giving Challenge

So, for the month of October, there was a "challenge" that I mentioned here--Proverbs in 31 Days. Did anyone do this? Did you stay on target and read a Proverb every day? Was there anything that spoke to you? I have to admit I missed a couple of days but for the most part stayed on track...a couple more days and that challenge has been met. I have tried to think of something that I could do to challenge myself for November...

...and then today I saw this on Kingdom First Mom. It sure is a good thing that there are creative, thoughtful people out there because this is WAY better than anything that I had strummed up in my head!!



From Kingdom First Mom:
Next month is November, which just so happens to have 30 days and also includes Thanksgiving. A light bulb went off in my mind. The 30-Day Giving Challenge was born, right there in church.

I am challenging myself, and whoever wants to jump on board, to grab a journal next month and GIVE in some fashion every day in November. This could be large or small, simple or extravagant.

If you have a blog, I welcome you to accept the challenge or simply help spread the word!

Here is how it will work:

* On Sunday, November 1st, I will post a Mr. Linky and invite all participants to RSVP.
* Post about the challenge on your blog, with a few ideas about how you plan to give each day.
* Update weekly with your results, as little or as much as you feel led to share.
* On November 30th, I will post a final update with a linky so we can all see the impact of one month of giving.

Are there prizes?

Nope. If my pastor is correct, the blessings that come back to you each day during this challenge will be better than any bloggy swag.

I think this is a neat challenge...I don't know that I will get all that involved with the "bloggy" stuff but am going to challenge myself in the giving aspect. Most of us have SO much...and speaking for myself, I know that I don't give nearly enough. I was made fully aware of that last weekend...there is SO much more that I could be doing to help other people.

So are you on board? Got any ideas going through your head...how can you give over this next month? What are you going to give? Remember it doesn't have to be big or extravagant...it can be, but doesn't need to be. Giving comes in ALL shapes & sizes!
