God has been digging these truths deep into my soul, and like you, God has especially been working over the time that my husband has been out of work. It's amazing the new eyes I see through and the new heart that God has created in me. And I would never go back. I'm so, so thankful.<br /><br />Love the tangible, practical, "we can do it today" ideas/links you included. I was also blown away by the way Platt's church reached out to their community and fostered/adopted EVERY child that needed a family. A--MAZING! <br /><br />I loved the quote you gave, too ... I have another post in the works that includes that same quote b/c those are the same questions I've asked.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing. My heart agreed in a full AMEN! :-)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491198678918594242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-49399175083017999342010-10-27T19:54:40.317-07:002010-10-27T19:54:40.317-07:00Good post Jen.

M...Thanks for listing the various ways we can help. My dollar a day diet coke can mean clean water for someone in Africa for a year! God has been leading me to this moment for a few months now. I've been keeping track of money spent, instead of just spending frivolously. Not saying I have it down, because I have failed miserably at times. This is where I'm supposed to be though, working through this, so I can give.

"...once you start - on...I love your comment: <br />"...once you start - once you open your heart up to the needs and name and faces of the poor of this world - it changes you and that change and that urgent sense of generously becomes a joyful, addiction of sorts." <br />Very true. Which reminds me, I have some stuff from my office that I'm giving to your Uganda garage sale. You can pick them up when you're here on the 5th-7th.Rod Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835904007182975990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-5937435155751248622010-10-27T06:50:56.740-07:002010-10-27T06:50:56.740-07:00thank you for pointing out concrete ways to help.....thank you for pointing out concrete ways to help..the statistics can be overwhelming but it is possible to make a differenceMelissa, Multi-Tasking Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552463538625125742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-29810851472279113852010-10-27T05:19:20.638-07:002010-10-27T05:19:20.638-07:00Funny you should say "simple" and not &q...Funny you should say "simple" and not "easy." I just wrote that very thing down a couple days ago. I was talking about simple steps that aren't EASY to do--they're just not complicated. <br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />You're so right about taking that first step and having it change you and turning into a joyful addiction.
