Wanted to share something God place...Okay I'm back. Wanted to share something God placed on my heart to do. There is a family in our subdivision that recently received an eviction notice. There is a single mom and her three kids. Her middle son is friends with my girls. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday was their last night before moving. He stopped by to say goodbye to my girls. My husband let him come in and stay for a while and hang out with the girls (big deal for an overprotective dad). When it got dark he tried to go home but no one was there. So I told him to come back and stay until his mom was back. I decided that it was a good idea to let him eat with us as well. Our money is tight but I would not have been right to cook and not offer him dinner. And honestly, I wanted to do it.<BR/><BR/>We are continuing to pray for them and will assist as we can. This is not a child we liked that much before, but we realize now that we rushed to judgement. God has asked us to step outside ourselves and try to be a blessing to this family and others. <BR/><BR/>Pamela, thanks for the challenge and the reminder of what we are here for!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147593138737484614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210141724426467891.post-20269687699404289342009-01-28T15:14:00.000-05:002009-01-28T15:14:00.000-05:00Pamela, what a tangible example of the love that i...Pamela, what a tangible example of the love that is in your heart.

It's such a blessing to hear about, so I can't imagine the blessing that it must have been for that young woman to receive it.<BR/><BR/>You're a blessing to me, friend.<BR/>In Christ,<BR/>Amy:)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336144938479561819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210141724426467891.post-9482662994452863292009-01-27T00:20:00.000-05:002009-01-27T00:20:00.000-05:00Oh Pamela...The timing of this post is too much fo...Oh Pamela...<BR/>The timing of this post is too much for me. I just had a prompting of some type... but I failed it. Being an X-ray tech... I only spend a small amount of time with each one of my patients. I just x-rayed a 91 year old man (very healthy) that had fallen down. He was such a sweet little man. He thanked me many times for my help... as I left him... I felt like I should have said something to him about Jesus. BUT I didn't. I didn't go back. I told God that if He wanted me to say something to open the door for me to have reason to go back into his room. So far nothing... except the pain in my heart that I might have missed a blessing. Not to mention what the man might miss because I chose to "put off" my prompting. <BR/><BR/>Oh Father... forgive me. I long to just be obedient to Him at all times. Why didn't I listen?? Why didn't I go back?? It may have just been for a little encouragement... or he may have been lost.... I won't know. Because I chose to not follow what I felt like was a prompting.<BR/><BR/>I am so thrilled that you did exactly what God led you to do. I have done things similar to that before in the drive-thru. But tonight.... I failed.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>LynnLynnSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432169849148442563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210141724426467891.post-81352913319608488442009-01-26T23:34:00.000-05:002009-01-26T23:34:00.000-05:00You know I just love stuff like that!

And while I am liberal with the wallet, it's the other areas in my life that need a little nudge. Things like my "time" and my willingness to do the "little things/behind the scene things" at church, etc. You get the picture. <BR/><BR/>I will work on those this week and maybe throw in a surprise Starbucks to the car behind me. So much fun to give. <BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210141724426467891.post-7687407283524806832009-01-26T16:11:00.000-05:002009-01-26T16:11:00.000-05:00I just love your post! and I love your blog!

It doesn't matter that you didn't get to tell her it was from the Lord believe me she will know.<BR/><BR/>We don't have to and often won't do it all perfectly but when our heart is to care, share and GIVE (which by God's grace I'm a giver), then God will always put opportunities before us to do so in His name and by His grace.<BR/><BR/>I'm unsure if I will think to return this week to tell you because it's sort of a natural thing for my life. I look for opportunities to give and I often don't talk about it but I appreciate your message because it gives us all encouragement and a reminder to look for those GOD ORDAINED MOMENTS! Love it!<BR/><BR/>Love you Pamela.

For me, money is VERY tight. Giving is a huge act of trust for me that God will indeed meet my needs.

He is pretty amazing like that. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing and I will pay extra close attention for ways that I may serve or pay in forward.
