Here's the excerpt that Lisa shared…
"Give Sacrificially
Early in our marriage, Katie and I were part of a home fellowship. A couple joined the group soon after being released from prison. Even though they hadn’t been Christians for long, their affection for the Lord was evident. They were thankful that He had forgiven them, that He would want a relationship with them after the things they had done, and that He would allow them to begin new lives in Christ. Because of their decisions that led to their incarcerations, and the burned bridges with most—if not all—family members and friends, it wouldn’t be too much to say that our home fellowship was just about all they had.
They were part of our group when Katie was pregnant with our first child, Rhea. Everyone was excited for us, but perhaps because this couple had no children or grandchildren, they seemed more excited than anyone else. They desperately wanted to give Rhea a gift when she was born, but as you can guess, they didn’t have much. They settled on a dirty, smelly blanket, which they put in a torn plastic bag. They were smokers, so we had to put the blanket on the sanitary cycle on our washer quite a few times, but we still couldn’t get rid of the smell.
While the blanket didn’t cost much and was never useful to us, the gift was very meaningful. Why? Because they had so little, we knew the sacrifice they had made. Giving is much bigger than the gift. If I can use two analogies, the gift is an iceberg above the water, and below the surface is what went into the gift. The gift is a tree, and the roots in the ground are what went into the gift."

“Staying true to the approachable and encouraging style of the original book, this workbook is written in a clear and engaging style that not only challenges readers to pursue growth but is also truly encouraging and uplifting. Over three months, readers are invited to become more deeply rooted in Christ, with LaPierre artfully drawing on the metaphor of a believer as a tree, whose strength and stability come from its root system grounded in Christ." #beingcontentgodsway
