Cheerful Giver

I recently stood in line at CVS waiting to print a few photos. As I stood waiting, the woman in line in front of me asked how many pictures I planned to print. After answering her with, "only a couple," she proceeded to offer for me to go ahead of her. She admitted that she had many to print and still needed to edit and make her selections. Graciously I thanked her and began the touch screen process. Only moments after I began her phone rang. Standing near her I could not help but over hear her telling the person on the other end of the conversation how the woman in front of her was taking forever to print her pictures and that she would be late due to her. Seeing that it was me she was discussing, I proceeded to ask her why she had offered only to complain about letting me go in front of her. This innscodent brought to my mind 2 Corthinthains 9:7 of God's Word:

"Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

A cheerful giver does not apply only to money. It can be our time or even our place in line.  God says we should take time and decide what to give and if it is done cheerfully then it pleases Him. So if a cheerful giver pleases God what does a complaining one do? I want to have a heart not only that seeks to give but puts a smile on Gods face too. Blessings my sweet friends. May our giving make God smile.
