Christ-like simplicity

Give out an image:


Give out a thought:
‘Jesus Christ and all the writers of the New Testament call us to break free of mammon lust and live in joyous trust. Their radical criticism of wealth is combined with a spirit of unconditional generosity. They point to us a way of living in which everything we have we receive as a gift, and everything we have is cared for by God, and everything we have is available to others when it is right and good. This reality frames the heart of Christian simplicity. It is the means of liberation and power to do what is right and to overcome the forces of fear and avarice.’ (Richard Foster)

Give out an action:
Do something anonymously. You could arrive at work early and ensure that everyone has a cup of tea on their desk for the start of the day. Go and clean up the street or a park in the middle of the night so that no-one sees you.
