During this wonderful time of the year, we must be thankful for the gift of Christ, salvation and the Holy Spirit! Each gift is available to all that will believe. There is simply no Christmas without Christ! At Christmas, I love to give gifts and I enjoy receiving gifts that are beautifully wrapped. The great thing about receiving a gift is that the majority of the time, it is unexpected, and the content is a surprise.
Last week, I was stopped in my tracks, I was speechless, when I received the news that my alma mater, Alcorn State University, had received a $25 million dollar gift from novelist and philanthropist, Mackenzie Scott. According to a press release issued by the university, “This gift marks the largest gift from a single donor in the university’s 150-year history.” (Please see the attachment for additional details.) https://www.alcorn.edu/newsevents/news/story-details/~board/broadcast-news/post/alcorn-state-university-announces-the-largest-single-gift-in-the-schools-history. I am so grateful for the generosity and kindness of Ms. Scott. I know this Remarkable Gift will make a major difference in the lives of our students, faculty, staff, and the community.
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift (II Corinthians 9:15) and
Thank you, Ms. Mackenzie Scott, for investing in the future of our students!
Dr. ReShone
