Showing the Love of God...

Give Thanks

But whoever has the world's goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
 (NAS, 1 John 3:17)


Today I give thanks for the generous hearts of the ladies in my Bible study!  There was a need that came to our attention a few days ago. We as sisters-in-Christ were able to help by giving groceries and other items to this precious family. This morning at church ladies came up to me with big smiles, telling me how much fun it had been. These ladies were very creative in their giving. They gave generously and showed the love of God to this family. This family was blessed and today with tears told of how God is using this in their life to show them they can
TRUST HIM!

We can do no
great things-
only small things
great love.
~Mother Teresa
