My heart was pricked by these words and when I was done reading I paused to look around me and with new eyes, a new perspective, I saw all that God has blessed me with. I, too, am by no means rich, but I have a roof over my head, a vehicle, and food.....what am I doing for others? How am I ministering to those around me? How am I giving back?<br /><br />Thank you, sweet friend, for sharing this and a big thanks to Zella for sharing her heart. Hugs and blessings to you!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389136708128457239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858196630188663393.post-59493522027200894402015-07-29T00:59:27.585-05:002015-07-29T00:59:27.585-05:00Ah, a lovely sharing indeed, from Zella, not wonde...Ah, a lovely sharing indeed, from Zella, not wonder you wanted to share it .. makes us realise how blessed of the LORD we are and we will pray for this couple for the LORD to bring hem to Himself and be free from the sad life they now lead.<br />Hugs dear friend and prayers for you too,<br />Shaz in Oz.x <br /><br /><a href="http://calligraphycards-shazinoz.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><b>{Shaz in Oz – Calligraphy Cards}</b></a>Shaz in Oz.CalligraphyCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050100007497130952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858196630188663393.post-58228057605228677722015-07-28T21:19:04.960-05:002015-07-28T21:19:04.960-05:00Dearest Mehrll ~ My it is good to visit with you, ...Dearest Mehrll ~ My it is good to visit with you, dear one.<br />I believe the Lord directed me to this very post, thank you for sharing it with us, and thank you to the sweet soul who wrote it and was willing to share her heart.<br />I too am at a crossroads in my own life and am looking to the Lord for His direction as to where He would have me to minister. I know He has me blogging for His glory, but I believe there is more that is yet to come, something local.<br />This past year has been quite busy with looking after my parents, and now that my dad has passed away and all has been looked after I am looking to the Lord to use me in the lives of others. I know He will lead, I just have to wait patiently for His leading.<br /><br />Again, thank you for this timely post.<br />I pray all is well with you.<br />Much love and hugs to you ~ DebbieDebbie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661813843716269751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858196630188663393.post-25110933844419540942015-07-27T17:57:14.512-05:002015-07-27T17:57:14.512-05:00Touching post Marilyn.

The doing comes from that hearing. I work with the homeless and have seen situation after situation just like this, Prayer, prayer and more prayer and then following the leading!! <br />Hugs<br />GinnyGinny Maxamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268623579157961536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858196630188663393.post-55120277666957325942015-07-27T16:27:45.643-05:002015-07-27T16:27:45.643-05:00Thanks for sharing Marilyn!

This hits home. I am going through the oppos...Ouch! This hits home. I am going through the opposite of this, thinking about what we do not have rather than being thankful for what we do have. God is really pressing this home to me and it is not nice...at all. Yes we have to be practical when it comes to poverty. We cannot all give money but we can offer friendship. Invitations to come around for a cup of tea, a chat, a meal. We can offer practical help and we can offer prayer. I can tell you from experience that if you do not 'fit in' socially, then life can be quite lonely. Prayer is the obvious first port of call. There must be more than one church in the area so churches pulling together for those in crisis would be another practical step. Finding employment and proper accommodation is obvious but prayer comes first, then friendship. I have often asked why there are homeless people in countries like the USA, U.K. France, Australia, etc. it should not be. So now you have brought it to our attention, what can we do?Anne https://www.blogger.com/profile/14291931630009358907noreply@blogger.com
