Proverbs 3:9-10 tells us: "Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine."
“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year but when you volunteer, you vote everyday about the kind of community you want to live in.” -Marjorie Moore
Comment on these two quotes and how it relates to Empty Bowls.
The first quote is saying to honor the Lord with everything you do, even making bowls for the hungry. When you volunteer to help others by helping with the empty bowls project, it shows the way you want the world to be.

The first quote is saying that God wants us to honor Him through everything we do. This relates to making bowls for empty bowls because we are helping out our community. The second quote is saying that by volunteering and helping out the community, you are helping to form your community into a community that is the way it should be and the way you desire it to be.

Whatever we do we need to do it in a way that honors God. Even something as simple as making clay pots. The second quote is saying that we need to volunteer to make our community better.

Even a small thing such as making a clay pot can make a difference. Giving and doing for the Lord makes "our barn full of fruit".

No matter what we do or no matter how simple it is we should always try to serve and honor the Lord through these things. This relates to empty bowls because by making the bowls we are volunteering and honoring the Lord by doing that.

Proverbs 3:9-10 reminds me to give and be generous with the many blessings I've been given. It means to always give back to the Lord. The second quote refers to the fact that we have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the community, so we should take advantage of that. These relate to the Empty Bowls project because we can use resources and gifts to serve God's people and give back to the community.

Proverbs 3:9-10 gives us a reason why empty bowls is important. We need to share what God has given us. The quote relates to empty bowls because we want a community that is loving, caring, and there to help if you need a hand. By participating in empty bowls we are growing our community in love and helping those that need it, which we hope that we would receive in times of trouble.

The first one reminds us to give generously and we will eventually be blessed. The second one is important because it reminds us that the community doesn't have to be separated by race or wealth, we can all help out and intermingle and make things better and come together as one. - Jarred Brooks
ReplyDeleteThe first quote is saying to honor God in everything that we do, even making pots. The second quote is saying that by volunteering, you're shaping how you want that community to be, which in Empty Bowls is fighting hunger.
