Glad and generous hearts

And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. (Acts 2:46, 47 ESV)

Too many times in our daily routine, we lose sight of just how blessed we are.  How often do we eat a meal, even if we say grace, and not truly give it a second thought.  Unless it is a really special meal or celebration, there is not much receiving of food with glad and generous hearts.  This is indicative of a culture that sprinkles a little God on everything we have rather than approach God in prayers of thanksgiving and realizes that God allows us to partake in everything that is His.  In Acts 2, we see people selling their possessions to help each other out, a church that is loving one another and standing beside each other.  When we realize that Everything is His, and that He allows us to have some of these things, it becomes our duty to point people to Him, using whatever tools He has equipped us with.
