About a month ago, I decided to go and visit an elderly, widowed woman from our Sunday School Class and her 100+ year-old mother-in-law who lives with her to play games and have lunch together. We met once, and then we decided once a week would be achievable, so Wednesdays for brunch at their house it was… I thought this would be something I could do to bless them since I stay home during the day. We play SkipBo (which is a game I grew up playing with my Nanna) and dominos.

What I’ve come to learn is that the two Bible verses below hold very true thousands of years after Jesus said them. I have been blessed way more than I ever thought possible. They are amazing women, and they are exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I look forward to it every week now!

[Sensitive subject: the 100+ woman is almost undefeated in all games played, and she trash talks (Christianly, of course), so it’s awesome, <ha ha>]

Moral of the story:

Filling someone’s cup with blessings does not empty your own cup;
it simply allows God to fill yours up even more often with His blessings!

 Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

 – Luke 6:38

Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. 

– Proverbs 11:25
