THIS MONTH'S IMPACT

It’s His desire to bless you with moments in life to have fun and experience life to the fullest right along with Him! No matter what you’re facing this month, we pray you’ll find time to open your heart to have fun, make memories with the ones you love, and feel God’s goodness upon on you!
FUN
Hey Faithbox Family,
With so much chaos ensuing in our world today, it can be easy to get caught up in the negative news stories and feel our joy being drowned out.
Many of us also deal with challenges and problems we never saw coming or expected. We’re faced with innumerable questions and uncertainties. From personal levels to a global scale, we’ve all encountered dilemmas we weren’t prepared for.
But when these uncertainties threaten to steal our hope and happiness, it’s important for us to remember that God created us to have FUN, which is our theme for this month!
Now, you may be asking, “How is there time for fun when my life is seemingly falling apart? When I’m losing hope, how can I even experience fun? Is it even appropriate to focus on having fun when I’m struggling to keep my head above water?”
Those are some of the questions we plan to answer over the course of this month. The truth is fun comes from God. And throughout the Bible, we’re given examples of fun and instructions to have fun, but we’re never commanded to not have fun.
Even in the midst of challenges and uncertainties, God desires for His people to have joy, to celebrate, and to make room for fun in their lives.
As we navigate this month, we hope to be a refreshing voice in your journey and one that points back to good gifts God the Father offers to you.
We’re in this together,
-The Faithbox Team

Everyday Faith - Faith, Family, Freedom Edition
“Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.”
Spiritual Inventory
Our Spiritual Inventory Card is intended to help you get the most out of your faith by being able to track how you’re growing and where you’re going. As you start the new month, take time to reflect on each area and identify where you are doing well and where you can commit a little more focus.
Time with God: More than anything, a relationship with God is exactly that: a relationship. This area focuses on the ways you connect with God. It can include things like prayer, scripture reading, meditation, and reflection.
Relationships: You have been placed in the lives of others to make a difference! Take time each month to consider who God has placed in your life, how those relationships are developing, and what your role is to make a positive impact in their lives.
Generosity: Generosity is at the heart of who God is and all that He does. This area is about the opportunities you have to make a positive impact financially. No matter how large or small, giving financially to an organization or person in need makes an impact.
Serving: A life that’s moving forward is a life that is concerned with the needs of others. In this area of focus, consider where or how you can get involved to serve others in your life, your church, and your community.
“The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.”
