Daily Inspiration

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of Gods grace in its various forms.

1 Peter 4:10

Is couponing your gift?  Then use it to help others!  How?

How much stuff do you get for free?  I haven’t paid for toothpaste in almost a year.  I know there will always be toothpaste deals.  So when the church is taking up items for mission projects, I’m going to donate lots of toothpaste because it’s free to me anyway.

You can always find organizations that accept donations.  Pet shelters take dog and cat food.  Children’s homes, women’s centers and shelters can always use toiletries, snacks, juices, etc.  Food pantries take non-perishables and canned goods.   Crisis pregnancy centers can usually provide a list of things that they need.  Elderly neighbors would welcome a sack of canned soups, candies, lotions, and single serve dinners.

How much of that stuff can you get for cheap or free?  How much of that can you clean out of your stockpile right now?

Keep an open mind when you see a deal.  Ask yourself, if you don’t need it, who does?  :)
