Yesterday I took some food to the Soup Kitchen. As I was walking back to my car, I passed a young couple with a small girl. She was in her dad's arms with her head on his shoulder sound asleep; they were going for a warm meal. I had tears in my eyes and a huge lump in my throat. As I started my car I thought about how much the Lord has blessed me and my family.
During this difficult time for our economy we need to remember the less fortunate.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Luke 14: 13,14
Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. Psalm 41:1,2
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Proverbs 19:17
I am so thankful for:
- Jesus Christ my Lord for saving me when I was a child.
- My wonderful husband, who always encourages me.
- My children: Sean who is selflessly serving our country in Iraq, so that we may be free and Malisha, who never causes me trouble and chooses to serve our Lord.
- Our church, which brings me so much peace and joy.
- My job, co-workers and friends whom I truly love.
- My warm home, cute dogs and each meal I eat.
I wish each of you a wonderful and Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!
