Changing all of our hearts! Like Amy said, God has the answers. He puts, in us, our heart. If we can feel and focus on where he draws our hearts, we will find the answers. And Vic, I was so happy to hear your voice on my machine last night!

I like the idea of not institutionaling compassion, not waiting for the organized church or faith-based agency to do something and we just jump on their bandwagon. Sure, some things are done more effectively with the support of an organization. But too many of us wait for someone else to make the first move. As followers of Jesus we can count on God to prompt us into being involved in people's lives and all we need to do is respond.PRS & ALShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253977035775901284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170178624161953044.post-58403850414691593772007-10-23T13:42:00.000-04:002007-10-23T13:42:00.000-04:00Seeking More,Good point: what we 'have' is not rea...Seeking More,<BR/>Good point: what we 'have' is not really ours, is it?<BR/><BR/>I wonder how an environment is created where the clock like that could run?vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573903603032717061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170178624161953044.post-87280043041586145362007-10-23T10:00:00.000-04:002007-10-23T10:00:00.000-04:00Tough Tuesday morning question. I think that all ...Tough Tuesday morning question. I think that all people "have" and all people "have not". I also think that everything that we do have, is not ours, but His. He gave it to us with a lot of strings attached. Everything that we do not have is also from Him, but those strings are attached to our neighbor..... We DO have the choice of what to do with our "haves", tho, which is the draw back. I am not only talking about money. I am talking about all gifts from God. Some people are great listeners. Pair that with someone who is in need of someone to listen. Someone might be gifted in teaching, and pair that with someone who craves to learn....and so on and so on. In a perfect world, we would see all of the needs of the people around us, and fill what we can fill. Perfect clockwork design. <BR/><BR/>Maybe then, at that point, people would not be so surprised by our kindness (like your friend) and so feel the need to overthank, because it would be in all of our hearts to be giving. I don't know. Do I make ANY sense, or do I need more coffee????Seeking Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519225446358067832noreply@blogger.com
