Sadly, many among us still believe that it is the fault of the poor and downtrodden that they are in that condition and thus it is that they are responsible for getting themselves out of the predicament of their own making. <br /> "As you did it unto one of the least of these, you did it unto me."

They are always so appreciative of any thing you can give.<br /><br />We also like to send our Missionaries a special Christmas Gift for they personal use, rather than the normal support check.<br /><br />I read a book once called Seizing the Define Moment ~~ looking for opportunities to be kind to someone. I have tried to incorporate that into my life!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-32782186681399346572010-12-02T10:00:05.891-06:002010-12-02T10:00:05.891-06:00This was my favorite line:

Im very glad to hear it.<br />Wasn't also said that "ours should be the business of men" or is that in the movie(s).jrchaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858326373606903797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-69361219991805879482010-12-02T09:38:39.808-06:002010-12-02T09:38:39.808-06:00I was just reading "A Christmas Carol" t...I was just reading "A Christmas Carol" to my son last night! It's such a powerful story.<br /><br />Your suggestions are spot on. I agree that the pull yourself up by your own bootstraps mentality is still alive and well. Some people seem to believe that the poor are poor because that's what they deserve - and the same for the rich. But I always think about Jesus and how he chose to spend much of his time with the poor - and at this time of year, how he was born in the humblest of settings - a dusty, dirty stable alongside animals. <br /><br />It's not our place to judge. I don't know why God has blessed me and my family with what we have, but I do know that God wants me to share it. I think he asks that of all of us.<br /><br />And, any time I've shared what I have with others - even when it seemed hard to do financially - God always provided.<br /><br />Great post!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611295306171246645noreply@blogger.com
