Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you
will be as bright as noon.
Today I was perusing some of my favorite blogs. And there it was again. Isaiah 58:10. I think maybe God is trying to tell me something.I LOVED Jen's care package idea. Most of this stuff we already have lying around anyway. We can make up a few of these packages and keep them in the car. Then when we see someone in need, maybe someone who is homeless on these frigid days and nights, we will have something to give them. Something small that will meet their immediate needs.
Jen used the following in her care packages, and I've added a few suggestions of my own.
- Hand warmers
- Snacks
- Wet Wipes
- Toothbrush/toothpaste
- Water bottle
- Mints/gum
- Kleenex
- Chapstick
- Note/bible verse
- Socks
- Gloves
- Comb/hairbrush
- Fast food gift card
- OTC medicines/cough drops

I am so thankful you posted this blog today! Just this morning on my way to work I was thinking about the sermon on Sunday. I was thinking of ways that I along with my family, could help the homeless, the poor, the less fortunate. I kept thinking, I could send a check but that wasn't the point of the sermon. Then I thought, we could as a family volunteer at a Mission kitchen but when would I do this? I want something I can do NOW. :) I just prayed that God would give me an idea, inspiration or even a huge sign! lol I heard the song by Toby Mac..City On Our Knees and talked to the boys about helping the poor. I asked them what they thought we could do and of course they didnt have an answer that was suitable. I asked them to pray about it as I would be doing the same thing. I was completely moved by the sermon and I had goose bumps reading your blog. What a PERFECT idea for the 'NOW' I was referring to! How fun that God chose to use my dear sweet friend to give me such a great idea!! Thanks for blogging! You are such a talented writer! Love ya!!!
very good !
