An Easter Offering

Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need.

—Acts 2:43-45

Risen Jesus, I am hesitant to loan my favorite pen! I second-guess giving spare change to someone in need because I do not know what they will buy. Release me from this distrust. Reconnect me to my siblings and our common bond. Amen
