How Much Do We Really Have? Empty How Much Do We Really Have?

Post by Clareesa Wed Dec 10, 2008 1:19 am

So, I've been thinking about this a lot lately...
you all probably know that recently a LOT of people
are going out of work...a LOT. I know a few myself. Sad
Some people...people just like us...barely have enough money
to buy FOOD...enough money to EAT. And here we are, a lot of us at least...
and we don't even think about HOW MUCH WE have when we can eat a
nice meal, have gadgets like ipods, computers, videogames and wiis... there
are people out there just wanting food! So, here's my challenge for you,
how hard would it be to give to someone in need? Whether it be...the giving
to the Salvation Army...a homeless person...anything...It's really not that hard!
I was talking to someone recently, and they were talking about how they gave
just $1...and the person thought they were extremely nice!...just for giving
$1!!!!...
So think about what you have, what God has given you...and think about
what other don't have....
Just something to think about....

Amen! Although I don't have even though I dont have money of my own, we are always sharing are food with people but down here food is pretty abundant so fruit and veggies are quite cheep so just giving beggars on the street 2 pesos they can buy allot of food with that! (2 pesos is about $0.17 in USD) But I agree! I always have a little of my parents money in my pocket and I give a little to the people on the streets. (Even if I give a little every day)


So amen! Again!

Wow...that is really something to think about!
But instead of giving money you might want to think about a bag like those H2O bags...A H2O bag (Hope to others) has like a pair of socks, a track, a bottle of water, granola bar, ect...ect... You can make them. My mom does not like to give poor people money to much because you dont know if they are going to a beer, or somthing worse with that money. So that is why we normaly give them food and a track.

Well is says in the bible not to judge if you are going to give to the needy! So even if they are going to go buy pot, beer,ect... Your not suposto judge! So if I have an apple then I give them the apple if I have a few pesos I give them that. God said be a blessing! That is what I want to be! What ever I have on me that I can spare I give!

Yes that is true we are not supose to judge...but at the same time...What if they are trying to stop drinking...And when you give them that money, it is a stumbleing block to them.

Wll, we try not to give them money too, but if we see someone who really touches us, and we don't have any food with us, we will give them some money.

My parents don't like to give out money, too, so my sister and I have put together several shoeboxes filled with food, a water bottle, socks, gloves, hat, a New Testament, toothbrush, etc. and we pass those out to homeless people standing by the road. It is a blessing to know that we are showing those people that someone cares!

Also, we have been going through a book as a family called Revolution in World Missions by K.P. Yohannan. READ WITH CARE! This book can be life-changing! Very Happy The author was a native missionary to India and he talks a lot about how in America we are so privileged - so spoiled - and there are millions of people in India and other countries who don't have food and don't have the gospel. I highly recommend it, if you are ready for a challenge to help!
