Have you ever been emotionally down and physically drained; a feeling like the joy of life has been sapped out of you? Here is a simple exercise that might help you out and bring a bounce back to your step, a smile back to your face, and even some joy back to your soul.
GIVE.
Here’s what the Bible says:
Proverbs 11:25 & 28 (NLT)
The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.

You can GIVE your time.
You can GIVE your extra resources.
