LESSONS FROM A WATER BOTTLE
Written by: Jeanette Lethers


At the end of July, my husband generosity. I was completely humbled by this.

How many times do we only give out of our abundance or give what is convenient?

I am excited about the theme for our 2019 Women of Compassion annual gathering, “Love Out Loud!” I can honestly say that this one speaks volumes to me. It truly embodies what Women of Compassion and talents.

  • As we come across different people throughout our days, are we looking for ways to love out loud?
  • Are we so busy doing our tasks that we don’t even see the opportunities?

I don’t know about you, but this time of year seems to overwhelm me. Too many things to accomplish and completing the tasks He has given me. We are called to show His love to others.


However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 (NIV)


As we head into this holiday season, think about the ways we can “Love out Loud” and show others the love of Jesus Christ. And don’t let it stop after the holidays. Let it be part of our daily life. Give beyond what is in abundance or what is convenient. Some of the greatest blessings can come from when we have given our all. God used this precious family in Guatemala to teach me a valuable life lesson through a simple water bottle. Let’s all love out loud just as boldly!

In Christ,
