No Strings Attached

No Strings Attached

No Strings Attached-girl on church steps, knittingPeople sometimes offer gifts with no strings attached.

  • They expect nothing in return.
  • They put no limits on the gifts’ use.

For example, if I give you $100, no strings attached, the money is yours.

  • You don’t have to give me anything.
  • You can use the money any way you want.

We often question offers with no strings attached.

We think:

  • That sounds too good to be true.
  • What do they want?
  • What is wrong with the gift?
  • We never get something for nothing.

Cee Cee’s gifts have no strings attached.

She began by knitting hand-sized elephants to raise funds for Joplin, Missouri tornado victims in 2011. Cee Cee was eight-years-old. Since then, she has helped people all over the world, expecting nothing in return.

Why does she do that?

  • Cee Cee loves people.
  • She wants to help anyone in need.
  • She serves the one who offers each of us the greatest gift.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23 NIV).
